blue food - joker face lyrics
[verse]
here i am, sitting in a seedy downtown bar
the joker deals the cards, yeah
a chalk white face, a purple suit and shiny wing tips, yeah
a glasgow smile and a cuban cigar, now
he said, “i’ll see your raging ambition and i’ll raise you sedition
who says you can’t have a little bit of fun?”
i said, “i’m calling—all in—so may the best hand dealt win”
he said, “son, it was over long before it began
see, sonny, you’ve gotta learn to play a little dirty
straight shootin’ only makes it easier for me to win it
deep down you must have known the tables would turn
‘cause i rigged the deck and a full house beats your two pair”
[pre-chorus]
he said, “you’ve got something to learn, boy
it’s dog-eat-dog in this world
get this and get ahead”
[chorus]
but that’s so cynical
that’s so cynical
[verse]
“well, well, well,” i said, “i see you need a little regulation, yeah
i’ll be dealing ‘em myself from now on, yeah”
he said, “i’ll see your optimism and i’ll raise you religion
see, every good idea just goes wrong
this game goes much deeper than the dealin’
bad beats are fairy tales designed to keep you playin’
deep down you must have known you don’t have a chance
i’ve got an ace up my sleeve, now read ‘em and weep”
[pre-chorus]
he said, “try all you want to control, boy
as long as you play it by the book you’ll be drawing dead
you’ll find it’s all just a joke, boy, and the best poker face is a smile
that’s just the way it is”
[bridge]
well i don’t care about how it is, only how i want it to be
i don’t help things exist if i don’t like what they mean
so you’re the only card game in town, but fair’s just not how you play
i’ll fold for now and i’ll go start my own game
i just don’t care how it is, that’s not how i want it to be
i don’t help things exist if i don’t believe in what they mean
so you’re the only card game around, but i don’t like how you play
i’ll fold for now and i’ll go start my own game
[chorus]
‘cause i’m not so cynical
not so cynical
hoo-ah!
