Backroom Boys - Kingmaker

They say that Pete had Razor sharp wit

But the man had a knife

Which is easier to cut with

Was going straight on the day that they met

He said we’ll make a dishonest man of you yet

We through the vine that he tried to sell us

Down the river so we stuck him with regards from the fellas

He knew himself that they wouldn’t be crossed

The doctor couldn’t save him

Too much blood was lost

It’s only a game to the backroom boys

They play with people like children play with toys

I wont name names

Pawn in the game of the backroom boys

You’ll never muscle in on thier backroom ploys

They wont take the blame

Sister talked big

Claimed they’d never hurt a lady

She was right they told her they would take away her baby

Used to stay up all night

She wouldn’t get tired

She spends every hour now yawning and wired

It’s only a game to the backroom boys

They play with people like children play with toys

But I didn’t call

She dropped to her knees and cried as she begged

She was lucky to leave with her tail between her legs

She was black balled

Did you hear that Bobby got divinely inspired

He looked pretty sharp in his religious attire

No-one was surprised when he passed away

They told him times

Religion doesn’t pay

They say…

It’s only a game to the backroom boys

They play with people like children play with toys

I wont name names

The day that Bobby got divinely inspired

He said he needed help in wading through the mire
