Kingmaker - Backroom Boys lyrics

They say that Pete had Razor sharp wit But the man had a knife Which is easier to cut with Was going straight on the day that they met He said we'll make a dishonest man of you yet We through the vine that he tried to sell us Down the river so we stuck him with regards from the fellas He knew himself that they wouldn't be crossed The doctor couldn't save him Too much blood was lost It's only a game to the backroom boys They play with people like children play with toys I won't name names Pawn in the game of the backroom boys You'll never muscle in on thier backroom ploys They won't take the blame Sister talked big Claimed they'd never hurt a lady She was right they told her they would take away her baby Used to stay up all night She wouldn't get tired She spends every hour now yawning and wired It's only a game to the backroom boys They play with people like children play with toys But I didn't call She dropped to her knees and cried as she begged She was lucky to leave with her tail between her legs She was black balled Did you hear that Bobby got divinely inspired He looked pretty sharp in his religious attire No-one was surprised when he pa**ed away They told him times Religion doesn't pay They say... It's only a game to the backroom boys They play with people like children play with toys I won't name names The day that Bobby got divinely inspired He said he needed help in wading through the mire With a full collection plate
