Tom McRae, Tom McRae & the Standing Band - We Are the Mark

Текст песни

We are the mark
He saw me coming down
A dark and empty street
So full of hope and so naïve
So easy to deceive
From behind his back
Should have known that
The deck was stacked
If there’s a joker here
He’s laughing all the way
To the bank
We are the mark
He speaks the language
Of relief
Shares our hopes
Our fears, our grief
The salesman’s smile
Hides a common thief
Don’t turn your back
Get yourself a second job
Say she have to the have nots
A rising tide only
Floats the yachts
Is what ive learned
We are the mark and you can sell the
Ground from beneath my feet
Sell off all the air
That is fit to breathe
Take what’s mine
And call it yours, offshore
But there’s a
Reckoning to come
Blue blood bleeds
Just like anyone
From the barrel of a gun
Change will come change will come
We are the mark
We’re coming for you
We’re coming or you
