[Verse 1] Since the very first day He's been on the way through Stopped for no one and nothing Stopped for nothing true He became the cream of the crop Pride of the local mind Jamming his brains to the brim Always at the head of the line [Chorus] It's all worked out He thinks he's winning the game It's such a shame Yeah, it's a shame [Verse 2] Since the time of his arrival When? nobody's sure He's taken all that he could he can't resist the curtain's lure Voices ringing in his ear Remnants of everybody gone by But all that is put aside Jungle warfare to him never dies [Chorus] It's all worked out He thinks he's winning the game It's such a shame Yeah, it's a shame (uh-huh) (ha-ha-ha) [Verse 3] Since the dawn of crime He's been at his devilish best The ultimate politician He can cheat at any test Life's a mere means to an end What serves him will suffice And he will stop at nothing Indeed he claims to lead in vice [Chorus] It's all worked out He thinks he's winning the game It's such a shame Oh, it's a shame [Bridge] Who can stand against him now Will he regain his soul Impressions of his childhood gone Like he was never ever born As he crumbles into dust Dissolving in the murky crust He had it all but he had naught From his fate he could not run [Chorus] It's all worked out He thinks he's winning the game It's such a shame Oh, it's a shame It's all worked out He thinks he's winning the game Such a shame Oh Oh Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a shame
