Boom or Bust (Battat)

Playing the floor, riding the house

Every game is a winner when you’re never without

You drop a buck, keep pushing your luck

Lucky that your well will never dry up

You sit down to play another round

But everyone knows your name in this town

So you put on a face that might have worked before

But I ain’t buying your bluff no more

You’re always boom or bust

Love or lust

Will it be vice or virtue?

You were just dealt the kicker

Now let’s see who’s skin is thicker

All eyes are watching, boy it’s your move

Do you pass it off like the button like you always choose?

Read ‘em and weep, you’d rather keep to yourself

And keep on pretending like you’re somebody else

You got big shoes you wear, or so you say

But really you’re just getting through to your next day

You can play all night but how far can you go

When you’re barely breaking even and it’s time for the show

You’re always boom or bust

Love or lust

Will it be vice or virtue?

You were just dealt the kicker

Now let’s see who’s skin is thicker

It’s 4pm you’re still laying in bed

Time to take another turn with the black and red

You’re always boom or bust

Love or lust

Will it be vice or virtue?

You were just dealt the kicker

Now let’s see who’s skin is thicker
