Jonathan Coulton - Gambler's Prayer (Demo) Lord hear my prayer and look down on me I'm not as wealthy as I used to be It's not even ten and I'm busted again Why does this happen to me?
Give me a sign, show me you care straight to the ace Lord or even a pair Can't make it alone and I'll sink like a stone unless you can undo what I've done
so Lord lift me up in your tender embrace lend me your wisdom, your strength, and your grace help me to smash my opponents fat face Oh Lord, help me take money from my friends
Deep down I know that it's only a game I want them shaking in terror and shame It's just poker and beer, still I need them to fear me Lord It's not enough just to win
Deal me good cards and I'll handle the math We'll take their money while they take a bath I'll show them my hand and you'll show them your wrath Oh Lord, help me take money from my friends
and I don't want to cheat them cause I know that's a sin I just want to defeat them and make it, make it hurt when I win make it hurt when I win
So poke them with sticks and crush them with stones chew them up good Lord and spit out their bones make my riches grow and let those bitches know that you hate them and love only me
Burn it down until nothing survives make them regret for rest of their lives the day that they bet their dogs and their wives Oh Lord, help me take money from help me take money from help me take money from my friends
