I never want to be
Subject to the caprice
Of people who have no skin in the game
I never could abide
The ones who loved and lied
And try to live with no skin in the game
I'm not here to tell you how you ought to live
I'm just here to tell you they'll take all that you'll give
And when the bill comes due
It's all left up to you
And you're the only one with skin in the game
They'll leave you holding on
After they're good and gone
And walk away with no skin in the game
There's got to be some skin in the game
