Peter Green Splinter Group - Gambling Man 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 ma**e 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 k**ed, 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
