He's just another con-man sitting on a hill You see him at the bull fight, closest to the kill He lives up in a tower, sells dreams to the poor No matter how he gets 'em, he always wants some more
He said he was a rocker, said he was lost and never found Said that she should pity him after he forced her to the ground She lost one of two jobs lost her home too Yeah he's just a bad con con and he's getting rich off of you
But the talk's so cheap, we're gonna smoke him out But he rolls so deep, high above the crowd And, he hide his face, up high on a wall But you just wait, one of these days, one of the con-men is gonna fall
Con-boy, soon to be a man He like his toast and butter, he like his jam He gonna make a black out but keep his collar white He gonna bring the books to a boil and tell you it's good and fine
But the talk's so cheap, we're gonna smoke him out But he rolls so deep, high above the crowd And, he hide his face, up high on a wall But you just wait, one of these days, one of the con-men is gonna fall
At night he likes his buildings bright Likes to show affection to his maid And when he sleeps, she goes through his things And finds it all
Cheap, we're gonna smoke him out But he rolls so deep, high above the crowd And, he hide his face, up high on a wall But you just wait, one of these days, one of the con-men is gonna fall
Just another con con man
