Casino (Bad Things) Lyrics

Dealers and the boot life
Got me hooked on freebasing
And I can't trust my government
So I looked into the other dimensions
And now, they got me doing bad things

Poker chips, chains and whips
They got me wearing red lipstick
And I can't trust no man of mine
To watch the door while I do my lines
Yeah, they got me doing bad things

I got my friends inside my pockets
Got my gin tucked in my purse
I keep my heart locked in gold
So I don't ever get hurt
And I gamble till the lights of the casino are gone

Holding hands and making plans
These types of things I can't understand
I put my trust in my cigarettes, and make some calls to do the rest
Yeah, they got me doing bad things

I got my friends inside my pockets
Got my gin tucked in my purse
I keep my heart locked in gold
So I don't ever get hurt
And I gamble till the lights of the casino are gone

You know how pretty
The lights of the city look on you

I got my friends inside my pockets
Got my gin tucked in my purse
I keep my heart locked in gold
So I don't ever get hurt
And I'll gamble till the lights of the casino are gone

Dealers and the boot life
Got me hooked on freebasing 
And I can't trust my government 
So I looked into the other dimensions
And now, they got me doing bad things

Poker chips, chains and whips
They got me wearing red lipstick
And I can't trust no man of mine
To watch the door while I do my lines
Yeah, they got me doing bad things

I got my friends inside my pockets
Got my gin tucked in my purse
I keep my heart locked in gold
So I don't ever get hurt
And I gamble till the lights of the casino are gone

Holding hands and making plans
These types of things I can't understand
I put my trust in my cigarettes, and make some calls to do the rest
Yeah, they got me doing bad things

I got my friends inside my pockets
Got my gin tucked in my purse
I keep my heart locked in gold
So I don't ever get hurt
And I gamble till the lights of the casino are gone

You know how pretty
The lights of the city look on you

I got my friends inside my pockets
Got my gin tucked in my purse
I keep my heart locked in gold
So I don't ever get hurt
And I'll gamble till the lights of the casino are gone

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
