A Dreamer's Fortune

Casting shame upon the malefactors is dilution of all their foul play
 Also-rans begrudge the titleholder
 If you don't cheat you're destined to fail
 Dreamers spend their fortunes before they wake
 Underdogs become impostors for the accolades
 Gracious smile now shakes the hand of triumph
 Clean your wounds and head on to brood despair
 It's hard to breathe staring at your blue ribbon on the mantle of another's lair
 Dreamers spend their fortunes before they wake
 Underdogs become impostors for the accolades
 I want to taste redemption before my wake
 Gotta be the titleholder before I hit my grave
 Green in the eyes of the hungry
 Green pockets of the great
 Green is the vain imposter
 Green grass above my grave
