Ballad of the Magician

Lyrics

[Verse] I work hard every day of my life I see folks sell their souls for some pie Can't even get a slice of a slice That's been left out all night Turn to crumbs right before my eyes It ain't right, baby Is this a sign that I should give up my dreams And start failing at a different thing? Oh, but right when I'm about to let go There's just one thought that keeps me hanging on [Chorus] The CIA, they hired a magician To make killer magic tricks for their secret Russian missions No, he didn't give up when his friends said magic's lame Now he's an American hеro of the USA Yeah, the CIA wеnt and hired a magician No, he never lost his spark, he fuckin' held onto his vision So in your darkest hour, when it's hard to find a way Just remember that magician and how, how he changed the game (And you can do the same!)
