If there's any justice in the world

Then there's something I've got to say

For all the fools who fend for themselves

For you it's dying day

I've been done out of my money and wealth

And I'm sitting on square one

Trying to get my head together

Waiting for the sun



I tried so hard to win

Sometimes I'd gamble my own life

And anyone who crossed my path

Would never cross it twice

I'd take until there was nothing left

But the odds turned on me

Now I'm down and out again

Deep in misery



I've been a self-seeking man

Self-seeking man

Self-seeking man

Who lived for himself

Who wound up the fool

And got nothing for it



I've been done out of my money and wealth

And I'm sitting on square one

Trying to get my head together

Waiting for the sun
