Lyrics:

Shitty hands, shitty hands

I done played my shitty hands

I laid my cards out on the table

And I played my shitty hands

In the card game of life

I have played my shitty hands

I played the joker, I played the king

I played almost everything

I've been up, I've been down

But I ain’t gonna let nobody try to push me around

I’ll keep my dignity, I’ll take a stand

Though I’ve been dealt such shitty hands

Shitty hands, oh, shitty hands

I done played my shitty hands

I laid my cards out on the table

And I played my shitty hands

In the card game of life

I have played some really shitty hands

They call it the royal flush, the royal flush

Down the toilet all your cards get swooshed

You lose your money, or they pull out a gun

You leave your cards on the table, and out the door you run

Sometimes you may wonder and try to understand

You ask God why you’ve been dealt such shitty hands

Shitty hands, oh, shitty hands

I done played my shitty hands

I laid my cards out on the table

And I played my shitty hands

In the card game of life

I have played some shitty hands, hands, hands!
