Backer In Your Pocket

We saw you roll the dice

on that heaven-sent chance you got

we saw the plans you made

saw you lay your money down on the proper spot

you didn’t want to quit that thing

you went all in with the coloured crackers

without a backer in your pocket

We saw you come up craps

all that risk and it didn’t pay

we saw the look on your face

as the banker took your chips away

you think it’s tie to quit that thing

getting all depressed and knackered

wishing for a backer in your pocket

We hear you praying for an early death

as you scream up to the skies

you need to stop and take a real deep breath

tell us what you learned from this enterprise

We see a brilliant future

your shining skies a little bluer then

you got an angel on your shoulder

be a little bit wiser when you try again

why would you want to quit that thing

you ain’t never been a slacker

and you got a backer in your pocket

We hear you praying for an early death

as you scream up to the skies

why don't you stop and take a real deep breath

tell us what you learned from this enterprise

We see a brilliant future

your shining skies a little bluer then

you got an angel on your shoulder

be just a little bit wiser when you try again

why would you want to quit that thing

you ain’t never been a slacker

and you got a backer in your pocket
