VERSE 2
I like small towns and the people there. Easier money than welfare.
What does it take to get a handout? A sucker to trust you without a doubt.
But they need me and I need them, we’re all red-blooded working men.
Good or bad, where do I stand? Between the devil and a dollar is a confidence man.

VERSE 3
When the market dies like it always does everybody’s pockets are lighter than they was.
Evrybody’s mad everybody’s pissed They can’t believe that they were taken by a scam like this
Still they can’t even understand, how they got swindled by an ordinary man
They pay the price, that’s why I came, to make ‘em all losers in a confidence game.
