There's people out there makin' it hard to have faith in this world There's people out there doin' their best to get more than their share And now the fuse has touched the powder And the match is to the fuse And the man who lights the fire leaves no clues There's people out there settin' their sights on that big piece of change There's people out there breakin' the law to stay out of the cage Someone's backed into a corner
Someone's neck is on the line And the man without connections does the time Bless the thieves and the bandits Bless their hearts so small Save your breath, don't you damn them to hell They can't do nothin' worse than they do to themselves Bless 'em all, bless 'em all Someone's running out of favors Someone's running out of deals And the man who holds the fortune spins the wheel
