I've seen the worst of men, for less than a dime A Judas kiss, for a pocketful full of time They sell their souls, for a fleeting high But the devil's in the details, and the price is high The walls are closing in, the darkness is suffocating We're searching for a way out, but it's hard to find You want to play it cheap, I'll show you what's real Betrayal for beggars is a deal that's hard to keep You're only as good as your word And your word is worthless A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do You won't be there I'll take my chances, with the devil I know Rather than trust a snake With a smile that shows I've walked the line, between right and wrong But when the stakes are low, the players get strong You want to play it cheap, I'll show you what's real Betrayal for beggars is a deal that's hard to feel
