Lyric discussion by Mitch Cumstein 

Cover art for Jack lyrics by Widespread Panic

That above definition is proof that hippies have no concept of reality...particularly if they spend most of their time shootin' squirrels, rippin' bingers and sniffin' teeners while being the Flemmish King of Rocky Hocky.

Song is about one thing and one thing only...shopliftin' the pooty from the queen while no one's lookin'. Period. If you know much about cards you'll know most of that is contrived.

Stick to slaughtering rodents... beware of Peta and In Earl We Trust.

Actually an experienced poker player can come out ahead or break even. It's not a complicated game.

If you have a hand and you've been playing for a while you can tell what other possible hands someone has and make a judgement call.

I've had multiple occasions where I knew I had the highest hand and just waited for someone to call all in.

Black Jack may be more "contrived" I would say luck varied.

Poker is not gambling.

Read up on Phil Ivey and get back to me.

@Mitch Cumstein your comment is as shallow and original as your Handle. The above comment is a loose but accurate translation from a band member who was telling the story behind the lyrics and meaning of Jack.
