Текст песни The Darker The Shadow The Brighter The Light - The Streets

Guard your hand with the slight of a smile
The darker the shadow, the brighter the light
Can't well have it nice all of the time
The darker the shadow, the brighter the light

I feel reincarnated since this disaster started
An Egyptian king who travels down to the tomb
Dress me up mummy for the here-after party

(Try to be good, man, we'll make a fool out of you)

If you're fed up, just give out a King Tut
Your purse all dashed, where the girls at?
Get me back up, cursing the plan
The better the gambler, the worse the man
Brush all the dinner off the plate
Oh, which to play, no, you didn't rate me
No miss that day, swing in at 8
Sing until late, fling all your chips at your fate

(Try to be good, man, we'll make a fool out of you)

Guard your hand with the slight of a smile
The darker the shadow, the brighter the light
Can't well have it nice all of the time
The darker the shadow, the brighter the light

Roll the bones or hold your own
As you hold your tokens, your soul's in smoke
They told you, "No", cold you go
Gold or bloke, roll the bones

It's a game of chance to raise up the weak
And bring down the mighty
Take your action, find your lunch, or become the lunch
The calmer your hunch, the harder you punch

(Try to be good, man, we'll make a fool out of you)

Guard your hand with the slight of a smile
The darker the shadow, the brighter the light
Can't well have it nice all of the time
The darker the shadow, the brighter the light

We've each been dealt, we three knelt
Breathing held, release your belt
Reveal your hell on the green felt, or alternatively
Down, your chin goes south of your grin
You loudly grin, not an ounce you spill
Shout within, your bowel is still
Now you spin, the house wins

(Try to be good, man, we'll make a fool out of you)

Guard your hand with the slight of a smile
The darker the shadow, the brighter the light
Can't well have it nice all of the time
The darker the shadow, the brighter the light

Guard your hand with the slight of a smile
The darker the shadow, the brighter the light
Can't well have it nice all of the time
The darker the shadow, the brighter the light
