Tricksters, Hucksters, And Scamps Lyrics

Well he used to be so peaceful
Used to be so serene
Well if it wasn't for us here
It would still be pristine
He'd have fires a burning down on empty cans
All of these tricksters and hucksters and scamps

Many days I've got my hands full
Tryin' to find out what's real
But a bunch of hungry eyes will
Turn you into a meal
Beware that smiling face beneath that ole street lamp
He's got those tricksters and hucksters and scamps

He cut a hole in the bucket
Watched that water funnel down
Said if I'm gonna be a hero
Gonna have to make a mess out of this town

Well he waited for a while so Everything would turn to rust
Well, he slept next to a pistol
Set a price upon my trust

But he stole that election
Put his face on every stamp
All in his council were tricksters, hucksters and scamps
Alrighty now

He been fighting for some years now
It was his turn to survive
Well they offered him a fortune
In the 5th he'd take a dive

Well the crowd went home happy
The nation's faith lives with the champ
All in his corner are tricksters, hucksters and scamps
All of his sponsors are tricksters, hucksters and scamps
Alrighty now
