You knew what you were doing when you did what you did  You used to do the right things but your standards slid  You're gonna pay the price  There's no going back to the way it was  Because a person's gotta pay for what a person does  You're gonna pay the price    It didn't have to happen that way  But it did cause baby you were taken chances  It didn't have to happen that way  But it did and now you're gonna suffer the circumstances    You shoulda learned to live by the golden rule  Because that karma thing can be awful cruel  You're gonna pay the price  Lost your soul gave in to your greed  When you turn your wants into what you need  You're gonna pay the price    It didn't have to happen that way  But it did cause baby you were taken chances  It didn't have to happen that way  But it did and now you're gonna suffer the circumstances    But if I was the king of Las Vegas  I'd wear the nugget ring  Yeah if I was the king of Las Vegas  It wouldn't mean a thing to me  But I'm not    Yeah one of these days when the tables turn  Yeah your gonna find out that when the truth is learned  You're gonna pay the price  Where you gonna run when it all falls through  I said where you gonna turn when they turn on you  You're gonna pay the price    It didn't have to happen that way  But it did cause baby you were taken chances  It didn't have to happen that way  But it did and now you're gonna suffer the circumstances    But if I was the king of Las Vegas  I'd wear the nugget ring  Yeah if I was the king of Las Vegas  It wouldn't mean a thing to me  But I'm not
