Life's a casino, I'm tellin' you And everybody's playin', boys and girls Women, children, me, and you The dice are loaded and everything's fixed Even a hobo would tell you this Welcome to hard times and feelin' low Do you like sinnin'? No? Well, you will before you go We've got lots of gamblin' Oh, and we're tellin' lies You're certainly welcome to hard times ♪ Take a look in my eyes Tell me what you see Besides the bright blinking lights Stretched out in front of me I wonder if you'll notice Would you even care If I told you my life just isn't fair? Welcome to hard times and feelin' low Do you like sinnin'? No? Well, you will before you go We've got lots of gamblin' Oh, and we're tellin' lies You're certainly welcome to hard times Yes, hope you're feelin' welcome to hard times
