Bet Borrow Steal Lyrics

Dear God, I'm a hopeless sinner

I'd sell my soul for a ninety sixth minute winner

I've thrust, every inch of my shaft

Balls deep into my overdraft

Bad decisions are my addiction

Lost it all on a fickle 50-one fiction

Locked myself in the debtor's prison

Chasing elusive escapism

Astronomical, anatomical costs

Being found is boring, it's more fun being lost

I'll bet, borrow and steal

So I can afford my next meal

I'll steal, borrow and bet

Until my wildest dreams are met

I'll bet, borrow and steal

Just for something to feel

I'll steal, bet and borrow

So I don't have to go to work tomorrow

Now I know that life ain't fair

But how the fuck did he miss from there

Genius is inside my head

Demons come to repossess my bed

Cry for help, but will anyone listen?

Now I've not got a pot to piss in

I'm the hurricane lifestyle master

A piss wet through natural disaster

On the scrap heap in my twenties

And there ain't anywhere else I'd rather be

I'll bet, borrow and steal

So I can afford my next meal

I'll steal, borrow and bet

Until my wildest dreams are met

I'll bet, borrow and steal

Just for something to feel

I'll steal, bet and borrow

So I don't have to go to work tomorrow

Wonder what injustice I'll face today

Divorced reality cos I'm married to the game

Constant pain rattling round my brain

Class A's are all that get me through the day

To the gambling gods I pray and fucking kneel

Punt my last penny, got yourself a fucking deal

Crying my eyes out like Ian fucking Beale

Can't describe my bad luck, it's un-fucking-real

I'll bet, borrow and steal

So I can afford my next meal

I'll steal, borrow and bet

Until my wildest dreams are met

I'll bet, borrow and steal

Just for something to feel

I'll steal, bet and borrow

So I don't have to go to work tomorrow
