The grandfather clock strikes midnight in the Sovereign Room
Cigar smoke hanging thick, masking the perfume
We take our seats at the velvet green
Smiling at the mark, selling him the dream
I got a rigged deck resting in my tailored coat
While the house boss clears his heavy, diamond-studded throat
We didn't come to gamble, we came to script the play
To take his entire fortune and walk out in broad day

Push the chips to the center, watch the dealer sweat
We’re betting with money we haven’t stolen yet
No sudden moves, just a polite little nod
Playing the devil while quoting God

Oh, the shameless gentlemen
Drinking your bourbon while we're plotting your end
No honor among thieves, but we dress the part
Stealing the gold right out of your heart
We won't ask for forgiveness, won't pretend to be your friend
Just a room full of shameless gentlemen

Monty spills a scotch just to break the stare
Earl slips the Ace from beneath his folding chair
Vince drops a compliment, distracts the hired gun
Lenny taps the table, signaling the job is done
The mark thinks he's winning, buys another round of drinks
But his empire is sinking much faster than he thinks

The lock clicks shut on the mahogany door
We leave a single joker lying face-up on the floor
No white flags, no running, we just casually walk
Let the sirens do the crying, let the detectives talk
By the time they check the vault and realize what they lack
We’re already miles away in the back of a Cadillac

Yeah, the shameless gentlemen
Counting the millions with our closest friends
No apologies written, no guilt to pretend
We played the perfect hand right to the bitter end
Just tipping our hats...
And we’ll never see you again.
(Shameless gentlemen)
