Lyrics
POKER CHANNEL by Michael Siegel 1996 Cable says they?re workin? to bring me all the best But I can think of something that I ain?t seen just yet A way to spend my money without even leavin? home A funny kind of game, that you can play alone.... You don?t need no deck of cards, and you don?t need no friend Just a little bitty hole, to put your money in You don?t need anybody, you don?t need Cable News To tell you who the winner is, guarantee you lose Let?s put a poker channel on Cable TV Franchised by the government for gamblin? folks like me I?ll stick my quarters in that box, just show me the hole And put them discard buttons, on my remote control. Democrats can deal the cards, Republicans can host Then take turns reminding us whose screwing us the most The show?s programmed for cheatin?, your addiction has begun Just like playing with yourself, and almost just as fun Let?s put a Poker Channel on Cable TV Franchised by the government for gamblin? folks like me I can?t pay my taxes, and I can?t spare a dime So can I pay my cable bill with food stamps just this time? I tell you what I would do, if I could have my way I?d have election channel, on election day On the screen in groups of five, and I could pick and choose And when I?d press discard, I?d get somebody new. Let?s put that Poker Channel, on Cable TV....... franchised by the government for gamblin' folks like me. Life is just a gamble, we?re addicted ?till we die Dreamin' of the day we win that fortune in the sky
