About the song
I actually wrote a song with several uses of the word "I" in it. "I'm gonna..." all sorts of terrible things.

Well, Dylan be damned. "I" is the most overused word in all forms of modern music with "me" and "my" sitting to either side of it. It's shallow as hell, too.

So, I completely rewrote it with some cheesy allusions to Texas Hold'em. Note: Arcana is generally magic to do with cards.

This leads to the chase of Jack Rig (Known frequently as "Rigger" on this cd).
Lyrics
Everyone's a loser in this great galactic lottery
Everyone's a loser but it's gonna take some time.
Everyone's a loser when our numbers come up we will see
Everyone's a loser and in vengeance lose our minds

Everyone's a winner even if the game is rigged
Everyone's a winner in the digital age
Everyone's a winner does Rigger know his game is fixed?
Everyone's a winner though we lose ourselves to rage.


Play the King of Eyes
Turn down this one-way street
When everyone is wild
There's no hope for victory

Play the King of Rage
Speeding down that one-way street
Give into the ride
Of rent steel mangled concrete

.........

Everyone's a player though they fold before their masters
Everyone's a player though few ever see straight
Everyone's a player in this great galactic lottery
Everyone's a player and they're cashing in too late

Everyone's a loser in this great galactic lottery
Everyone's a loser but it's gonna take some time.
Everyone's a loser when our numbers come up we will see
Everyone's a loser and in vengeance lose our minds


Play the King of Eyes
Turn down this one-way street
When everyone is wild
There's no hope for victory

Play the King of Rage
Speeding down that one-way street
Where everybody dies
In rent steel mangled concrete
