Life's a casino, I'm tellin' youAnd everybody's playin', boys and girlsWomen, children, me and youThe dice are loaded and everything's fixedEven a hobo would tell you thisWelcome to hard times and feelin' lowDo you like sinnin'? No?Well, you will before you goWe've got lots of gamblin'Oh, and we're tellin' liesYou're certainly welcome to hard timesTake a look in my eyesAnd tell me what you seeBesides the bright blinkin' lightsStretched out in front of meI wonder if you'll noticeWould you even careIf I told you my life just isn't fair?Welcome to hard times and feelin' lowDo you like sinnin'? No?Well, you will before you goWe've got lots of gamblin'Oh, and we're tellin' liesYou're certainly welcome to hard times, yesHope you're feelin' welcome to hard times
