The Turn Of A Friendly Card - Part 1

There are unsmiling faces and bright plastic chains
 And a wheel in perpetual motion
 And they follow the races and pay out the gains
 With no show of an outward emotion
 And they think it will make their lives easier
 For God knows up 'til now it's been hard
 But the game never ends when your whole world depends
 On the turn of a friendly card
 No, the game never ends when your whole world depends
 On the turn of a friendly card
 There's a sign in the desert that lies to the west
 Where you can't tell the night from the sunrise
 And not all the King's horses and all the King's men
 Have prevented the fall of the unwise
 Oh, they think it will make their lives easier
 And God knows up 'til now it's been hard
 But the game never ends when your whole world depends
 On the turn of a friendly card
 No, the game never ends when your whole world depends
