Deceiver's Blues

You might lose every dollar you make
The cradle will fall and the bank will break
You might laugh until you wear that mistake
You swore it never happened to you

Taking from Peter, give it to Paul
It's feeding your family or against the law
It all depends on which side you fall
On these deceiver's blues

Two different rules a man lives by
The law of truth, the law of a lie
It's up to you, you decide
Win or lose, do or die

Sometimes I wonder how the good Lord decides
Who gets the luck, who gets the struggle and strife
Good and evil, wrong and the right
I've learned from both the two

I never win at any game but mine
I learned the hard way when to call it a night
If you care to learn, son, I'll teach you right
Oh, these deceiver's blues

Two different rules a man lives by
The law of truth, the law of a lie
It's up to you, you decide
Win or lose, do or die

Two different rules a man lives by
The law of truth, the law of a lie
It's up to you, you decide
Win or lose, do or die

You might lose every dollar you make
The cradle will fall and the bank will break
You might laugh until you wear that mistake
Oh, these deceiver's blues
Oh, these deceiver's blues
Oh, these deceiver's blues

But this-
That was good fun
Yeah
That was good, clean American fun
