Judi menjanjikan kemenangan & kekayaan,
Namun, penting untuk menggarisbawahi bahwa interpretasi ini tidak mencakup keseluruhan spektrum realitas. Analisis mendalam menunjukkan adanya ketidakseimbangan yg inheren dalam sistem ini, di mana risiko kehilangan finansial seringkali jauh lebih akbar daripada kemungkinan kemenangan. Oleh karena itu, meskipun narasi tentang kemenangan & kekayaan seringkali dominan, akibat ekonomi & sosial yg kompleks, termasuk potensi kerugian, juga merupakan aspek penting yg perlu dipertimbangkan dalam setiap diskursus mengenai perjudian.
(Gambling, gambling) It promises you a golden trophy!
(Gambling, gambling) It promises you all the cash you can see!
But that’s a big ol’ fib! ‘Cause even if you win, my friend,
That’s just the first step to your bitter end.
Oh, what a fib! ‘Cause even if you get rich and bold,
That’s the opening act for a story of being broke and cold.
(Gambling, gambling) It’s like a terrible-tasting pizza for your life.
(Gambling, gambling) It’s like a curse that brings you nothing but strife.
For sure, for sure! Because of this foolish game,
The lazy folks get all fired up and scream your name.
For sure, for sure! Because of all this hocus-pocus,
Fortune tellers and psychics get a huge business bonus.
The holiest dude might lose his way, let alone the new guy in town,
The winner gets evil, let alone the one who goes down.
The rich guy will go broke, let alone the guy who’s already dirt poor,
The happy guy gets sad, let alone the one who’s already at his door.
Gambling money is just like a sad, soggy toast.
That little bit of money you have? Better use it for some food, no joke,
That’s the healthy way to not get poked.
That little bit of money you have? Better put it in a piggy bank for a year,
That’s the healthy way to be rich, my dear.
Whatever you name it, whatever it seems,
It’s all just a big-time bad dream.
Whatever you name it, whatever it seems,
Just don’t do it, okay? Go on, shoo, shoo!
