It seems in this life
There's just struggle and strife
Happiness is fleeting
And only once in a while
Hope keeps most going
But can take us so far
Truth then takes hold
And call your cards
You show your hand of Hope
But it won't beat a straight
Not even two pair
You've got aces and eights
There's just struggle and strife
Happiness is fleeting
And only once in a while
Hope keeps most going
But can take us so far
Truth then takes hold
And call your cards
You show your hand of Hope
But it won't beat a straight
Not even two pair
You've got aces and eights
For anyone unfamiliar with the reference to aces and eights, its the" dead mans hand"
