THE HOUSE ALWAYS WINS | 2023 REMASTER | Fallout: New Vegas Rap!

LYRICS:

VERSE 1:
Welcome to The Lucky 38, glad you could make the trip
The crowning jewel in the oasis of the Vegas Strip
I'm Robert Edwin House, the founder of this place of rest
A haven for the wayward, that's to say, if you can pay the rent
Understand that if you try to stop my plans you'll come to harm
I ensure that every bandit standing here has just one arm
I eschewed the grandeur, built a land for all that's free from smarm
But show your hand, I'll flush you out straight down to the farm
You blunder in and wonder if a bunch of chips can run the strip?
A hundred twits with guns and clips have tried their luck and lost the bet
I funded it - I'm one with it
So watch your lip or run the risk
'Cause if you're here to plunder it
You might just end up under it

CHORUS:
You can hit them, you can fold them
Stack the deck and weight the dice
All that glitters isn't golden
Cash that cheque you'll pay the price
Might be safer in the desert
Only dust to judge your sins
But those who wager aren't so clever
'Cause in heaven
Well, the House always wins
House always wins
House always wins
House always wins

VERSE 2:
You want to see the profits of democracy? Then go and see 'em
Across the street, a bunch of freaks are playing Colosseum
Honestly? Was the world you wanted what you got to see?
When you were dropping crosses into boxes behind polling screens?
Was dropping bombs your chosen option? Did you vote for screams?
Was the apocalypse your politician's policy?
Did you put stock in their prepostering and prophesy?
A shining future built on squabble-free equality?
That every day you'd get your plate of steak and collard greens?
The human race was capable of anything but wanton greed?
But now that world is gone and what lived on belongs to me
That freedom you so wanted's now the cost of living comfortably
Peace is just a product with a focus test of billions
And the test was unsuccessful so we altered it's description
"Your safety now provided by the guys at RobCo Services!"
For one ongoing price of your unwavering subservience
Impressed? I raised the stakes, returned this land to vibrance
Witness as I raise estates from mud and random violence
Business is the way to stay the bloody hand of tyrants
Convinced yet? Sail and ask my buddy Andrew Ryan
A grip of iron never tires
Head of ire, lead and wires
Neon veins in ancient spires
Pump the caps and I respire
The economy is ash, I didn't light the fire
But I can always turn a profit sweeping up the pyre

CHORUS:
You can hit them, you can fold them
Stack the deck and weight the dice
All that glitters isn't golden
Cash that cheque you'll pay the price
Might be safer in the desert
Only dust to judge your sins
But those who wager aren't so clever
'Cause in heaven
Well, the House always wins
House always wins
House always wins
House always wins

VERSE 3:
I saw the path, I preempted those ascending arms
My gilded heart beats forever on to mend the scars
I built an ark out of empty spas and trendy bars
Mended the families
Befriended with the NCR
I raised the wasteland from a band of little fight clubs
I handle situations delicately - White Gloves
I'm the Chairman of the board taxing on your survival
Out to murder competition then sit back and hike the price up

BRIDGE:
Oh no - A society trapped in a snow globe?
No surprises, the Rapture's a no-show
Undeniably tragic, there's no hope
The Mojave is savage, it's no home
Until I came to manage the whole show
Took the glitz and the glamor and showboats
Built a bastion for man for my 'folio
And officially branded it RobCo

VERSE 4:
With just a pair of dice I came and tamed these earthly wastes
I built a paradise, you might as well desert your faith
Long ago when we aimed armageddon at those pearly gates
I used that molten gold to rebuild heaven at The 38

CHORUS:
You can hit them, you can fold them
Stack the deck and weight the dice
All that glitters isn't golden
Cash that cheque you'll pay the price
Might be safer in the desert
Only dust to judge your sins
But those who wager aren't so clever
'Cause in heaven
Well, the House always wins
House always wins
House always wins
House always wins

mr house is back thats good to know hey edwin! tell victor i sayed hi!

Honestly,im not a fan of the other songs,but this one is pure gold

I have an idea for a remaster for the Holiday Season and that would be A very Scary Christmas

Great argument, but i have a nine iron

Have you ever thought about making a song about titanfall 2? Of course, only if you enjoyed that game! But I'd love to see your talent on that game, since it has recently experienced a comeback!

Caesar has been real quiet ever since this banger came out!

I picked this song up recently and couldnt stop listening to it. NOW THEY DID A REMASTER?!

nostalgic

Not to beat this version down but I prefer the older version of this song. The low voice quality and radio-like muffle of the song itself makes it fit way better as a Fallout fan song. I still like this version, it's just that the old timeyness of the original version makes it sound better.

House watching this video: "I don't remember writing that but man do I look good"

YOU DID IT. THANK YOU

How about a song about deep rock galactic, from management's perspective? You're making great songs, from not-so-good guy's, if not villain's perspective!

how did i just realize that "house always wins" is also reffering to the guy whos name is house

Still cant wait for the Andrew ryan song

Fallout New Vegas was the only game I ever 100%'d so this means a lot to me.

Brilliant

so i just realised that on both the original and remaster, the chip has morse code on it, neat!

i genuinely enjoyed both this and the previous version, thank you so much for making genuinely great quality music AND stupendously animated music videos stupendium!

I don't know what fallout is, but this is absolutely amazing

Wow awesome work! Thank you!

Would love to see a Waves Like Home remaster next

I wouldn’t listen to this song casually but the lyrics are so smart

Dude please make a frostpunk last autumn!

man i love new vegas and it's community

As someone who's been watching and listening for years, this is like hearing it for the first time again (but it's even better somehow).
This was always one of my favorites so this is 100% a treat and a half, awesome job~!

I like the idea that house has this aura around him that makes other people think hes unbeatable. Like his presence or name being spoken can insight instant fear.

Love it :D

This is amazing. Great job Stupendum!

we need a deep rock galactic song. FOR ROCK AND STONE BROTHERS

The house always wins,the game was rigged from the start.

Beautiful

What a wonderous experience it is to listen to this song

One angry mailman: HA HA GOLF CLUB GO SMACK ON WRINKLY MAN!!!

yes

I LOVE FALLOUT NEW VEGAS

No way you release this remaster a few weeks after I get really into New Vegas! I loved the original song, even if I didn't entirely get the references. Now that I do, this was a treat to watch and listen to. You never fail to impress, Stupendium!

As a fan of fallout 3 and new vegas you send us to burn in the nuclear desert because this is fire 🔥

Yeee lesgooo Stupes! Love Me a Good Remaster.

Courier may be the one to challenge that.

I made my account after watching the original amazing remaster. Really Some of your best work.

My friend started playing Fallout: New Vegas for the first time a few weeks ago, and I've been watching him stream it on Discord. Your timing on this remaster is incredible.

Love this. Almost as much as the game itself

YESSSSS

This game makes me want to play Fallout!

Me while i have only 187 caps cause of the NCR 😢

You know I just realized you never made a portal song.
