about

No matter what your dream is, don't give up. By pursuing what we love, regardless of the outcome, we become our truest selves. We feel richer, stronger, more purposeful, more human. And if we keep at, eventually, we do win.

Really.

lyrics

Hung in the dungeon upside down
Each day Mr. Bumble comes around
Talkin' smack in Funkytown
I just wanna win in the end

Bang the bell to keep the score
Each time that I hit the floor
I don't mind the cheap decor
I just wanna win in the end

Jagged edge, rocky ledge
Buzz saw spininin' and the villain grinnin'
Rght now I don't care who's winning
I just wanna win in the end

Gonna feel so right
Gonna be so ready
I just hold on tight
I just hold, hold, hold, hold, hold
Steady

Sister Sarah, fortune teller
draws the hanged man in her cellar
She says I'm one lucky fella
Handsome for a bottom dweller
Throw the dice, spin the wheel
Everthing it may reveal
I'm well-acquainted with the deal
I just wanna win in the end

CHORUS

Wakin' up
in the driver's seat
Waitin' out that traffic jam
on Easy St.
I can hear
your estimations
Sir, you under-rate my patience

CHORUS

Princes in their royal chambers
Laughing at the lion tamers
I ain't asking any favors
Lost in space, I lost my crew
I scream like Plant on Zeppelin II
No one hears, it's nothing new
Quick, before the drawbridge closes
tip-toe while the dragon doses
Look at all the pretty roses
