Dead Mans Hand |
| Come on people, take a look around |
| Watch the old devil gonna gain no ground |
| And all you people, who don’t give a damn |
| You’re playing a dead man’s hand |
| Hey you rich man, lying in the sun |
| Yeah you the one making money from the guns |
| You’re getting fat killing poor man’s sons |
| You’re playing a dead man’s hand |
| Old St Peter just sits and waits |
| Tricks won’t open them pearly gates |
| When your judgment day rolls around |
| Devil gonna drag you down |
| Hey you people, nose in the air |
| Yeah you who judge by the length of his hair |
| You want an army, then you’d better treat him fair |
| Or you’re playing a dead man’s hand |
| Old St Peter just sits and waits |
| Tricks won’t open them pearly gates |
| When your judgment day rolls around |
| Devil gonna drag you down |
| Hey you people, thick and thin |
| All you who judge by the colour of his skin; |
| If you can’t learn to judge from within |
| You’re playing a dead man’s hand |
| Old St Peter just sits and waits |
| Tricks won’t open them pearly gates |
| When your judgment day rolls around |
| Devil gonna drag you down |
