Life is not a bowl of cherries.
Life is but a game.
You can't sit back, you cannot watch,
Because you're forced to play.
The players all know how to win;
Lying, cheating, stealing, bluffing.
A single mistake can cost you the game,
And turn your winnings all to nothing.
Gambling is the hardest game.
Know when to call or stay
One more move could land you in
A debt you cannot pay.
For money can't buy happiness.
An irony so tart.
It can buy such pretty toys,
But it just can't buy a heart.
