Lyrics
Shady People
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Before I go there are a few people I would like to talk to you
about
Sneaky people
They will creep around you peekin' into your soul tryin' to look
for a hole to drown you
They are always searchin' for nothin'
If you were to become one of these people you would probably
find yourself being hit in the head by someone who's had enough
Backstabbers
These are people who were at one time or another people you
trusted and now they are gone
There are some people who will always take the lowest road no
matter where it crosses
They will screw you time and time again
Taking from you your dignity trust and your friends
You can take your chances slim but I would not dance with him
(chorus)
Shady backstabbing sneaky people always tryin' to pull you in
their schemes
Could be money or time
What's yours is what's mine
They can never let you be
There are traits of these in all of us
But then there are those who should get their P.H.D.
Shady people
The pickpockets, the conman
The person you least suspect that they warned you about
They usually have the look of being up all night
They are fast talking and smooth winding
And they will bleed you of everything you've got
They also have the ability to lie straight to your face
repeatedly, over and over again
Just when you thought it was too good to be true it might have
been too late for you
Ten will get you twenty, red will get you double, black will get
you lots of trouble
He had you tuned in since you came in, knowing that you would
soon fall in
You are not to trust the story or the deal, just because this
person is not real
