Con Man

G.Kooymans/B.Hay - Snamyook/Dayglow Music

He split the racket, to operate on his own

He set them up, stripped them and then he was gone

He's a Robin Hood of a new century

If you're rich and dumb, you bleed, boy

Con man's got a bloodhound nose for flaws

Profits from both sides of the law

I feel sympathy for his philosophy

If you're clever you can beat them all

Sister, tell your mister, to hold on to his change

Hustler, call him hustler, Con man rides again

Bandits, he's the bandits, settin' up a frame

Sister, tell your mister, to hold onto his brains

Con man's mastermindin' on a brand new heist

Blueprintin' through the secret files

Your tune ain't gonna be so nice

When he gets through with you

There's just one thing left to do

Cause he'll take it away

One money hungry night

Your longs are gonna be his guidin' lights

He'll be foolin' us all if we don't watch out

Leavin' his lies, spreadin' doubts all about

Con man's got a bloodhound nose for flaws

Profits from both sides of the law

I feel sympathy for his philosophy

If you're clever you can beat them all

Sister, tell your mister, to hold on to his change

Hustler, call him hustler, Con man rides again

Bandits, he's the bandits, settin' up a frame

Sister, tell your mister, to hold onto his brains

Con man's masturbatin' on a brand new heist

Somebody's in for a big surprise

Your wrongs are gonna be his rights

When a pro's at a con, he's the devil's son

Cause he'll take it away

One money hungry night

Your longs are gonna be his guidin' lights

He'll be foolin' us all if we don't watch out

Leavin' his lies, spreadin' doubts all about

He's the devil's son, he's the devil's son

Sometimes I think I'm gonna study that game

Be a Con man myself some day

Just one thing's botherin' me

I might be conning myself, by the way

It's a quarter past five, and that's no lie

I'm glad we're all still alive, goodbye now

Look out, he's spreadin' those doubts all about

He's the devil, son
