Serious Business

from He's Not Here EP I by The Dapper Conspiracy

/

about

Our wayward husband has an encounter with his Brother-In-Law that ends with blood.

lyrics

Serious business
means serious cash flow
for those here that don't know
gambling is serious business.
I got the card count
I just brought the wrong amount
of money if you lend me the cash
I'll pay you back in a second.
I got the touch
I don't leave my fate to luck
I'm not hooked I'm just stuck
'cause I know this next one is a winner.

And this is what he said to me:

Chasing your fortune
can be kind of lonely
if you ain't got no money
then you ain't got no friends.
You get to play
when you pay what you owe
and you owe quite a lot
to the man with the knife.

Hit me, don't hit me,
right now I want to stay
where the action is hot
and I can double our winnings.
Emptied my pockets
and bet my sister's locket
'cause I got a system
that's doing me just fine.
Keep my feet on the floor
and keep my eyes on the door
in case I should have to
make a hasty departure.

And this is what he said to me:

Chasing your fortune
can be kind of lonely
if you ain't got no money
then you ain't got no friends.
You get to play
when you pay what you owe
and you owe quite a lot
to the man with the knife.
If you lose this hand
I don't know if I can help you man,
these boys don't play nice 'cause you know
gambling is serious business.

We all have mothers
and sisters and brother
you know there's always one
who ain't worth his weight
in anything.

Chasing your fortune
can be kind of lonely
if you ain't got no money
then you ain't got no friends.
You get to play
when you pay what you owe
and you owe quite a lot
to the man with the knife.
If you lose this hand
I don't know if I can help you man,
these boys don't play nice 'cause you know
gambling is serious business.
