Bad Deal

I paid my dues — got nothing back I played it fair — still lost the track I gave my word — they changed the game I kept my faith — they sold my name Bad deal — I paid too much Bad deal — got half as much Bad deal — I gave my all Bad deal — watched it fall I chased the dream — it moved away I did my best — they made me pay I gave them trust — they broke the seal Now I know — it was a bad deal Bad deal — I paid too much Bad deal — got half as much Bad deal — I gave my all Bad deal — watched it fall No more deals — no more lies No more bets — on empty skies If life wants — another try Read my terms — before you buy I lost years — to make it right I lost sleep — to win the fight I lost hope — but found my will Now I stand — and pay no bill Bad deal — not this time Bad deal — crossed my line Bad deal — you took it all Bad deal — I won't fall
