The Lyrics

One of the unstated facts about having a good poker face is the consistency. You gotta keep mum on the garbage you've been dealt the whole time, not after the initial wince.
Poker, craps, whatever, you're a real easy mark
'Cause you've got a little habit that shows what's on your cards
No control, no control, no control, no control
Ev'rybody else has zero light in their eyes
Or they only react to conversational lines
In control, in control, in control, in control
But each card you pick up shows the truth in your heart
Whether it's just what you needed or the smelliest arse
So I know you know, yes, I know you know you're screwed

Sad but true
Oh, you haven't gotten the lesson: hide your first expression

You need to keep any shock or joy off of your face
Pretend that ev'ry card is exactly the same
Smile shouldn't raise or fall, in fact don't make it move at all
Yes, it's something that'll take practice
Yes, you hate practice, we all do, that's a fact
But if you don't work on this
Afraid you won't leave tonight with your cash
I know that you can hack it, you're my DM because
You show no reaction when things start going off
All rails, that's why I brought you to card game night, this is not like you
Oh, you

Yes, you need to onboard the lesson: hide your first expression

Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Yeah, it's true
That you roll all 1's on deception, hide your first expression

Oh, your first expression

It's entirely possible that a skill in one setting may not carry over to another. Like how I'm capable of not swearing at a video game if (and only if) I'm playing multiplayer with my nephews.
