    Lyrics »

he looked out on a foreign land, he said this land is mine
he ignored the rights of men but they were to be denied
he looked at them with an evil smile, struck terror in their hearts
they stood in fear and they cried for help, he tore their world apart
he was a gambling man, he was a gambling man
one man stood with arms outstretched, over all that he could see
he said to the people, i will make us strong, if you come and follow me
he gave them strength, he gave them cause, he spoke to them en masse
he said, i’ve got a job for you, i’m sure it’s going to be the gas
he was a gambling man, he was a gambling man
the devil rose up from the depths below into the hearts of men
they killed, they maimed, they took a vow to fight to the bitter end
one man said, it’s a dangerous game, you don’t get to choose
some you lose and some you win, he left as he lit the fuse
he was a gambling man, he was a gambling man
he was a gambling man, he was a gambling man
he was a gambling man
