"Heart On The Line (Skeletal)"

Win Some, lose some
That the way I play the hand I get
No sense in getting sore
It comes easy or it never comes at all
And I get something of a lesson
That's a lesson to us all

Call a teacher
Let him answer if he can
What am I gonna do
If I can't take it like a man
What do they want a boy to do
If he's done no wrong?
The only thing he did
Was lay his heart out on the line

[?]

Inside, outside
Doesn't matter where your standing
'Cause you're always a marked man
Power crazy in a lazy kind of a way
If I don't get up this morning
Well what difference does it make?

Call a preacher
Let him save a drowning man
How can he ever sleep at night
With evil all around?
So ring a bell for brother Al
He never did no wrong
The only thing he did
Was lay his heart out on the line

[?]

When it's good it's oh so good
When it's bad it's better
There's no pain and there's no gain
When you stand at the center of it all

So could a healer
Come on down to this great land?
I really don't know what to do
I just don't understand
Let's ring a bell for brother man
He never meant no harm
All he had to do
Was lay his heart out on the line
