lyrics

I'll bet on a horse
More specifically the one I didn't poison
I've been learning morse
So I can talk to you
When I end up in prison

You know I'm a pretty well rounded individual
I'm spherical like those cows in physics
To make the math seem simple
An approximation of the man I want to be
Under ideal conditions
Neglecting the effects

Of gravity and friction
Now I see the contradiction
You can flip a coin, but we both know
That I'll do what I want anyway
Was that Schrödinger's position
Or my stubborn disposition?
I see hopes and dreams in caskets
So I'll keep my eggs in baskets

I'll bet on a horse
Only this time I'll inject my steed with steroids
I've been learning pointless skills
So I can feel like I'm special
And I feel pretty special
I think that I deserve a medal
