My father was a simple carpenter by trade
Callused hands from the foundations he laid
The hands that held me when he gave me my name
Ten Penny nails, another house to frame

And then the banker man said
Open your eyes
Don't let this world hold you down
So come this way my friend
Sign your name on the dotted line
You're gonna be the king of this town

Upon the advice of the banker man
Of which my father followed to a T
I watched as he leveraged everything that he had
Don't worry son, we're gonna both be rich men

And then the banker man said
Open your eyes
Don't let this world hold you down
So come this way my friend
Sign your name on the dotted line
You're gonna be the king of this town

The King of this town

And the bank came in and took it all away
You waited to respond all the way past 90 days
So your telling me, I've got nothing
The game has been reset and you must start over again
A simple change of numbers now your assets are erased
This is business, so keep walking

And then the banker man said
What's yours now is mine
You should have known the house always wins
Don't look so sad my friend
You're not the first to tread past the line
I'm sure with time you'll be alright

And then the banker man said
Open your eyes
You should have known the house always wins
Go tell all your friends, all about how we robbed you blind
You'll never be the king of this
