Tricksters, Hucksters, And Scamps |
Well it used to be so peaceful |
Used to be so serene |
Well if it wasn’t for us |
It would still be pristine |
There are fires a’burning down on empty camps |
All of these tricksters and hucksters and scamps |
Well these days I got my hands full |
Trying to find out what’s real |
Well a bunch of hungry eyes will turn you into a meal |
Beware that smiling face beneath that old street lamp |
He’s with those tricksters and hucksters and scamps |
He cut a hole in the bucket |
Watched that water funnel down |
Said if I’m gonna be a hero gonna have to make a mess out of this town |
Well he waited for a while so everything had turned to rust |
Well he slept next to a pistol said in Christ I my trust |
Well then he stole that election put his face on every stamp |
In his council were tricksters, hucksters and scamps |
He been fighting for some years now |
It was his turn to survive |
Well they offered him a fortune in the 5th he’d take a dive |
Well the crowd went home happy the nation’s faith lives with the champ |
In his corner are tricksters, hucksters and scamps |
All of his sponsors are tricksters, hucksters and scamps |
