Nothing Left to Believe

from The Human Conditional by Bill White

/

lyrics

Im nothing much more than a ghost around here
The only thing that reminds me that Im alive is the pain
Im at the blackjack table but the table is clean
Still Im waiting for an ace to match my queen
my friemds have fallen one by one and I cant even grieve
venthe gamblers have left town
And I have nothing left to believe

nothing left to believe nothing left to believe
ive lost my faith in this casino world
nothing left to believe

theres no way you can win at blackjack
unless you get the deal
i got nothing to fall back on
i bet everything on the roulette wheel
i could find myself a single room
die in there alone
on a second hand bed with buggy sheets
in a strangers home
but ill stay with those who hate me
who poison my food and my mind
but when they clean up y flesh and blood
im gonna leave some things behind

you all know life is rotten in the USA
some say they want to go back to the simpler days
those old days were no better
a woman crucified on a red letter
a man on trial for knowing how life begins
a woman facing death for hiding a bottle of gin
children burned alive by the FBI
extortion and eviction if you dont conply
assassinations of elected presidents
charie chapin deported because they said he was a red
kennedy is sacrificed to speed the winds of war
phil ochs is strangled to keep him from singing anymore
the ripping of the ozpne by atomic bomb tests
is blamed on the using of aeresol deodereats
some will lie for the power of office
others kill for the crown
the pain of seeing trump go up
was balanced by seeing clinton go down
it was ronald reagan whp talked about a simpler time
and ronald reagan was never any friend of mine

those who reveal the truth are hated
the perfidious liars are loved
but in the end they are nothing but
pieces of garbage to get rid of
when sin is virtue and virtue is sin
we are left with nothng to believe in

nothing left to believe nothing left to believe
ive lost my faith in this casino world
nothing left to believe
