THE DEAL
Words and Music
By

© Al Venturini 2012
You and I have gathered here to negotiate a deal
Everybody seems to think I should care the way you feel
No one cares about the lies or the stories that you told
They seem to have a lot to say as the truth starts to unfold
Compromise is not the suit that you where very well
In the end the truth will haunt the stories that you tell
The scars of all the pain you caused are branded on your soul
Now you know its not much fun on the wrong side of the deal
You always laugh and walk away from all the slamin' doors
But sooner or later time will settle all old scores
You can play the victim now you play it oh so well
Maybe you should learn to read before you sign and sell
Now you get to play the martyr it's the last act of the play
Everybody's so concerned about the price you had to pay
Take your black umbrella do you're cryin' in the rain
I'm the only one that knows you really don't feel pain
Take your black umbrella do you're cryin' in the rain
I'm the only one that knows you really don't feel pain
It's time to go
