Old Rules Out

I don't like the card you dealt.
A better hand is all I need.
No matter which card I lay down,
You always have a better one.
Can we play a different game?
One to which I know the rules.
Maybe I'd get the better hand.
Have you played this game before?
You seem to know how it goes...
Or maybe you just think you do.
If no one knows the rules of play,
How do you know you're doing it right?
Now I've had enough of this.
I've changed the rules of the game.
It's not about what you're dealt,
But how you play what's in your hand.
You'll never know what I'll do next,
'Cause I have on my poker face.
You cannot prepare for what's to come,
For only I know my next move.
