He split the racket
To operate on his own
He set them up
Stripped them and then he was gone
He's a Robin Hood of a new century
If you're rich and dumb, you bleed, boy
Con man's got a bloodhound nose for flaws
Profits from both sides of the law
I feel sympathy for his philosophy
If you're clever you can beat them all
With your brother, you can beat ‘em all
Can beat ‘em all
Can beat ‘em all, oh yeah
Sister, tell your mister
To hold on to his change
Hustler, call him hustler
Con man rides again
Bandits, he's the bandit
Settin' up a frame
Sister, tell your mister
To hold onto his brains!
Con man's mastermindin' on a brand new heist
Blueprintin' through the secret files
Your tune ain't gonna be so nice
When he gets through with you
There's just one thing left to do...
Take it away, one money hungry night
Your longs 're gonna be his guidin' lights He'll be foolin' us all if we don't watch out Leavin' his lies, spreadin' doubts all about! Watch out!

Somebody's in for a big surprise
Your wrongs are gonna be his rights
When a pro's at a con

Sometimes I think I'm gonna study that game
Be a Con man myself someday
Just one thing botherin' me
I might be conning myself by the way...
It's a quarter past five and that's no lie
I got robbed and alive, bye now
Look out, he's spreadin' those doubts all about
All about, yeah

He's the devil son
Yeah yeah yeah
