The voice of recklessness sings: ‘If you stick with me honey, we can make lots of money. There’s nothing you will get, unless you have a bet. You’ll never really know, so you have gotta have a go. If you put your money in, then you know you’re going to win.
The voice of responsibility sings: You have gotta understand, to play a winning hand. Know what you’re doin’, or you’re on the way to ruin. You have gotta stop and think, or else you’re gonna sink. Know when to walk away, or you’re really gonna pay.
The voice of recklessness sings: ’Your lucky day, day, day.’
