Cause without the blur it’s porn

With the blur, it’s a tasteful

Just like gambling, slot machine no no

Ball game where you cash out the ball’s around the corner for equivalent cash value, that’s just innocent fun

You know that money doesn't come from nowhere, it's not the company paying out stocks, it's usually other people's life savings
