Welcome

Take a look at your cards
Put on your poker face
You've anted up so now
Try to dodge disgrace

The tiger feeds on the lamb
There are things that you must learn
For every one who answers
There shall be some who will spurn

Still if you never move
If you never strive
If all you do is hope
Your ship will not arrive

Welcome to your life, now get ready to place your bets
Welcome to your world, you rack up points, you rack up debts
Welcome to the place that some say we're just passing through
Watch out or you'll find your ship sailing off with out you

Some get a royal flush
Some don't even get a pair
Some try to steal your cards
Some just count on prayer

No one said there was justice
Here where you now reside
You can't count on fair warning
All you can count on is the tide

Blood will always flow
Man will always strive
Cities may burn and fall
But cities may also thrive

Welcome to your life, now get ready to place your bets
Welcome to your world, you rack up points, you rack up debts
Welcome to the place that some say we're just passing through
Watch out or you'll find your ship sailing off with out you
