The Lizard King said, “the West is the best”

He also said, “Adolf Hitler is alive and well and living in Miami”

I agree with both those statements,

But I do love Florida

I’m like a 49er though

I had one moment and I think I squandered it

My pot of gold slipped thru my fingers, I think

There was one play I could have made,

But I didn’t make it far enough

One quarter of my life I devote to you

One half of my life is promised to you

There’s one game we all play and it’s called ‘life’

Bumping and grinding our way to the one goal

The one goal we all share

Finish the game

Try and end up better at the end than you were at the beginning

Run blind towards that sunset

Dream like it’s 1849

Your pot of gold is out there

Don’t be afraid to work for it

Defend it

We all deserve our pot of gold
