Lirama

Golden Earring - Con man

He split the racket to operate on his own
He set them up, stripped them and then he was gone
He's a Robin Hood of a new century
If you're rich and dumb, you bleed, boy

Con man's got a bloodhound nose for flaws
Profits from both sides of the law
I feel sympathy for his philosophy
If you're clever you can beat them all

Well, if you're clever you can beat them all
You can beat them all
You can beat them all, oh yeah

Sister, tell your mister to hold on to his change
Hustler, call him hustler, con man rides again
Bandit, he's a bandit setting up a frame
Sister, tell your mister to hold onto his brains!

Con man's masterminding on a brand new heist
Blueprinting through the secret files
Your tune ain't gonna be so nice
When he gets through with you
There's one thing left to do

He'll take it away one money hungry night
Your longs are gonna be his guiding light
He'll be fooling us all if we don't watch out
Leaving his lies, spreading doubts all about!

Look out

Con man's got a bloodhound nose for flaws
Profits from both sides of the law
I feel sympathy for his philosophy
If you're clever you can beat them all

Well if you're clever you can lick 'em all
Lick 'em all
You can beat them all

Sister, tell your mister to hold on to his change
Hustler, call him hustler, con man rides again
Bandit, he's the bandit setting up a frame
Sister, tell your mister to hold onto his brains!

Con man's masterminding on a brand new heist
Somebody's in for a big surprise
Your wrongs are gonna be his rights
When a pro's at a con, he's a devil's son

Cause he'll take it away one money hungry night
Your longs are gonna be his guiding lights
He'll be fooling us all if we don't watch out
Leaving his lies, spreading doubts all about!

He's a devil's son, oh, he's a devil's son
Ah yeah, ah yeah
Yeah, yeah , yeah (2x)

Sometimes I think I'm gonna study that game
Be a con man myself some day
There's just one thing's bothering me
I might be conning myself
By the way, it's a quarter past five, and that's no jibe
I'm glad we're all still alive, bye now
Look out, he's spreading those doubts all about
All about, yeah
All about
He's the devil, son
Devil's son
Yeah, yeah, yeah
He's a devil's son
Yeah, devil's son
