Perhaps Your Life

What are you going to do
when they come for you,
you can bet they'll get you yet
coming to collect on your gambling debt,
you have no one to blame but yourself
it was you and no one else
that layed down those bets.
As always you hoped you would win
but in the end you lost again
and now you gotta pay the price
perhaps tonite you'll even be required
to pay the ultimate price
and lay down your life.

Gambling, the type of which you speak James is as bad as the worse drug.
