The Dan Emery Mystery Band - Winning

I've been hustling to pay my rent
Cause what I give myself is everything I get
I don't need anybody else
I've always taken care of myself
I never ask anyone for help
That's the reason that I'm in such good health
And everyday by the billions people plug into the system
And then they work for what they're getting
And as I hustle up and down these dirty streets I know I'm gonna be the ones who's winning
Yes I know that in the end I'm gonna be the ones who's winning

And Johnny X doing H in the men's room thinks he can write songs better than me
Cause he’s so complicated
He's got voices in his brain
He's such a mental case
He thinks he's going insane in a drug induced haze
But when the songs get late and the music gets made
I'll be standing up on center stage and I'll be grinning
And when that spotlight finally shines I'm gonna be the one whose winning
Yes I know that in the end I'm gonna be the one who's winning

And in the city behind closed doors she making love like she waging the cold war
She thought she could finally could throw me in the lost in found
Lift me up and then just let me down
And take me in just to turn around kick me out
She thinks I’m just another jewel for her exotic crown
But when she calls my bluff she had better be tough
Cause I've kept my aces hidden and when the final heartbreaks
I know I'm gonna be the one who's winning
Yes I know that in the end I'm gonna be the one who's winning
I'm gonna win
I'm gonna win
I'm gonna win
I'm gonna win
I’m gonna win
