Cheaters Never Win

The east side of the river I truly defend The west side of the river Had a fake rule Used sad tactics and tools To the west side of the river Bend on your knees And pray this may be The last trip southeast Because your tactics are weak And belongs to the one who Lives many feet beneath The east side of the river Has much talent that You believe can be bought This was given by the big guy And both sides of the river He defends for right That is quite why you lost tonight The east side of the river I truly defend. This is a cliche' And I will say it today, And smile and wave, Cheaters never win! 12-12-10

Very creative how you used two sides of the river to represent good and bad, heaven and hell, God and the devil! I love how it ends... no matter how Cliche'...Lay
