I’m living a life and it’s tied with string

And I’ve realized that I don’t know a thing

It doesn’t take long before the wind blows hard

Knocking down this house of cards

I wish life came with a guarantee

Not to make a fool of me

Doesn’t take much and it doesn’t take long

To realize life’s no simple song

I’m not to sharp and I’m not to svelte

But I got to play just what I was dealt

It doesn’t take long before the winds blow hard

Knocking down this house of cards

I wish life came with a guarantee

Not to make a fool of me

Doesn’t take much and it doesn’t take long

To realize life’s no simple song

Bring it on Down!!

Who’s the jack and who’s the ace

How in the world do I get out of this place

Where’s the door because the windows barred

My delicate features could easily scar

In the house of cards

Life’s knocked me down yea for the eight count

But I got back up as the troubles mount

Doesn’t take much and it doesn’t take long

To realize that's the end of this song
