The Lyrics

Score bucks, grifters and liars;
bankrupt wretches are victims encore.
They gave it up…
now drenched in ire.
Banks accounts are fried; ain’t got no more.

Fools lost their bucks (no more bucks, the griftees)…
a griftin’ spree (stung in griftin’ spree).
Bye-bye (grifters flee).
Liars retire (“Bye-bye!”).
Victims.

The bunk sounded kind-hearted;
redeployed funds arrived at the end.
It’s a con game: Victims and dough parted.
Schmoes pockets are empty—
no more wealth to spend.

Bye-bye, scored bucks (scored bucks from the griftees),
weeping victims (thugs on griftin’ spree),
cryers (grifted dweebs).
Liars retire.
The senseless chumps (sore chumps from griftin’ spree).
They’re gone (thugs left victims bleak),
grifted dweebs (griftin’ spree).
Liars retire, wealth higher.

Guys been had; their dimes have been removed;
they’re victims who’ve been ripped off, burned.
They’ve been stripped of much of their money,
with no “Hands up!” They never learn.

No use tellin’ these schmucks (these schmucks who’ll be griftees),
fleeced and grifted (schmucks will be griftees).
Dire griftin’ sprees…
buyers of liars.
They shed their bucks (these schmucks are grifted, fleeced);
they’re conned (conned in griftin’ sprees),
grifted dweebs (victims fleeced).
Buyers of lying liars.

They’ve lost their money;
held up by slick conmen.
They should be knowing,
these guys are liars
that just keep on griftin’,
lifting much “manna.”
