A song dedicated to Don Trump Sr. for the first day of the rest of his spray-tanned existence. Enjoy! Righteous Natalie Merchant is the best Natalie Merchant. Lyrics follow…
[Verse:]
A lie to say, “o, my mountain has coal veins and beds to dig
500 men with axes and they all dig for me”
A lie to say, “o, my river where many fish do swim
Half of the catch is mine when you haul your nets in”
[Chorus:]
Never will he believe that his greed is a blinding ray
No devil or redeemer will cheat him
He’ll take his gold to where he’s lying cold
A lie to say, “o, my mine gave a diamond as big as a fist”
But with every gem in his pocket, the jewels he has missed
A lie to say, “o, my garden is growing taller by the day”
He only eats the best and tosses the rest away
Never will he be believe that his greed is a blinding ray
No devil or redeemer can cheat him
He’ll take his gold to where he’s lying cold
Six deep in the grave
| [MERCHANT] His oldest pain and fear in life There’ll not be time His oldest pain and fear in life There’ll not be time Hey hey Nor can he buy. |
[STIPE] Something is out of reach Something he wanted Something is out of reach He’s being taunted Something is out of reach That he can’ beg or steal |
A lie to say “o, my forest has trees that block the sun
And when i cut them down i don’t answer to anyone”
No, no, never will he believe that his greed is a blinding ray
No devil or redeemer can cheat him
He’ll take his gold where he’s lying cold
Six deep in the grave
BestLine Racing Society Recap:
Aqueduct & Oaklawn from earlier.
At the former, Race 5 went to the aptly named #1 Swifty Devil (.173 Win Prob / 4.78-1 Fair Odds / 7.09-1 Premium Odds) at $19.20.
The latter had to cancel one of its early races. But if you were ready to sacrifice 26¢ of your premium price in Race 1 on #2 Words of Wisdom (.202 Win Prob / 3.95-1 Fair Odds / 5.93-1 Premium Odds), you hit a $13.60 win mutuel up top, calculated edge of 37.3 percent to the good. Three-deep in the Fair Odds Betting Line, we demand a little more of an edge, maybe minimum 40 percent. We report, you decide!
