lyrics

Sailing the currents
we fail and fold,
riverboat gamblers
past the age of old.

I donʼt want to play the loser,
Donʼt want to pay the winner
Oh no

Thereʼs a spare dollar
underneath my clothes.
Two others up my sleeve
inside of penny rolls.
Saved expressly for the bullies,
the trollʼs tolls

But I donʼt want to play the loser,
Donʼt want to pay the winner
Oh no

This is a lawless zone
Your dog has got me like a bone
Iʼm looking for my chance to escape
No I canʼt live my life alone
but Iʼm no good for your loan.
Doing this dance every day is
second rate

I donʼt want to play the loser,
Donʼt want to pay the winner
Oh no
