You always needed people like me

Directions for your fingers to point

A crooked dealer's blaming spree

I'm guaranteed to disappoint

You're weak and scared and cutting raw deals

But fortune always favours the bold

I'll bet it all and crush your bluff

I'll never yield nor ever fold.

And I won't shoulder the blame.

I am the one who's left to take the fall

I fight the constant undertow.

You always needed a distraction

A target for the stones that you thrown

To draw attention to your actions

I'm tailor made so lock & load

Oh, you're telling tales You spineless coward

Your word's not worth its weight in shit

Back against the wall, belligerent.

I won't shoulder the blame

So high and mighty But when the bottom drops out

You're gonna find me standing where you left me.

Deal the last hand, let the cards fall where they may

From your castle made of sand you're looking down at me

So high and mighty But when the bottom drops out

You'll have to face me waiting where you left me.
