Gambler's Lament

Sometimes breakin' even
is just like gettin' ahead
you start each day
in the same old way
and end up back in your bed

You lose the heart for gamblin'
you don't even place a bet
you face the sun
til the day is done
and live on the blood you sweat

It ain't that life is bad
just not what I expected
but maybe the blame
is not with the game
but something I never suspected

Could it be that dice tell the truth
and the game is the only thing
that in the end
it's all about Zen...
