We’ve placed our bets and here we go.
Into the crowd with our heads held high.
That is something we come to know.

We’ve placed our bets and the chips are thrown.
Into the fray at the grand casino game.
That is something that makes us hone.

Our skills so increased we already zoned.
Our brains focused at the betting table.
That is something we want to know.

Of course, when we play, we have to hone.
Our skills to do better in the betting table.
Which is something we want to take alone.

When we play, we wish to win so dearly.
In the spirit of the betting table so low.
Our heads plop into the scene we know.

So, let us place our bets into the game.
We already have the reigns to control.
That is something we already came to know.
In the hopes we have calculated to overthrow.
