Robyn's story

Winning is the beginning of my every day gamble
Lost so much money my life's in a shamble

But I still want to go as soon as I'm paid
And I speed to the club my life a charade 

I'll only play low put a limit on money
But I know how it goes, and your losing honey 

My account is empty and can't get any stash
So I drive to the bank to get credit card cash 

I return to the club, hotel, casino
Can't wait to get there, how much will I blow 

I can sense it, the big one is coming around 
Excitement is high, I continue to pound 

Look at that, nearly got five in a row
How close, just missed by the fifth golden bow 

Wow this machine is going so good
But I play 10 dollars a hit, so it should 

Two years ago now, I didn't have any debt
Now I owe 100,000 grand nett 

Where did it go, and how did you spend it
I can't tell you, maybe one day I'll end it 

Even though I can see all the money I've lost
I still can't say no, no matter the cost 

The thrills, the excitement of maybe a win
My hearts pumping quicker, jumping out of my skin 

Don't worry I'll do, just 100 more
I could walk away, go straight out the door 

I'm late, schools over, need to pick up my son
No that's ok, he'll wait, 50 bucks I just won 

So it cost me 100 to win just a 50
But I'll return next time and do so swiftly 

Won't leave till the ATM says no more funds
Pockets are bare, shoulders weigh tonnes 

I'm angry, I'm mad
Don't talk to me 

Where have you been mummy
Oh, just on a shopping spree
