"Deceiver's Blues" lyrics

You might lose every dollar you make
Cradle will fall and the bank will break
You might laugh until you wear that mistake
Swore it never happened to you
Taking from Peter, give it to Paul
It's feeding your family or against the law
It all depends on which side you fall
On these deceiver's blues

Two different rules a man lives by
The law of truth
The law of a lie
It's up to you
You decide
Win or lose
Do or die

Sometimes I wonder how the good Lord decides
Who gets the luck, who gets the struggle and strife
Good and evil, the wrong and the right
I've learned from both the two
I never win any game but mine
I learned the hard way when to call it a night
If you care to learn, son, I'll teach you right
Oh, these deceiver's blues

Two different rules a man lives by
The law of truth
The law of a lie
It's up to you
You decide
Win or lose
Do or die

Two different rules a man lives by
The law of truth
The law of a lie
It's up to you
You decide
Win or lose
Do or die

You might lose every dollar you make
Cradle will fall and the bank will break
You might laugh until you wear that mistake
Oh, these deceiver's blues

Oh, these deceiver's blues
Oh, these deceiver's blues
