This original song is a retro-futuristic neon hymn to Mr. Robert House—the cold, calculated visionary behind the Lucky 38, the Securitrons, and a Mojave future built on odds, order, and power. Mr. House Always Wins (Lucky 38 Neon Hymn) blends casino swagger with post-war dread: a Courier walking into the Strip’s bright lie, choosing whether New Vegas becomes a republic’s prize, a legion’s trophy, a robot kingdom… or a House-built tomorrow.
The song follows the Courier from a shallow grave to the glowing edge of the Strip: Benny’s betrayal, faction pressure, and the Platinum Chip as the key that decides who writes the Mojave’s next century. It also nods to the Fallout TV series’ pre-war boardroom shadows—where “tomorrow” is sold like a product and the real power stays just out of frame.

Lyrics
Mr. House - raise that Lucky 38
Neon king, let the roulette spin
Shallow grave sunrise, I came back wrong
Pip-Boy ticking time, Doc stitched me strong
Victor rolled up like "Howdy, friend"
Pointed me to the Strip where the lights pretend
Freeside's hungry chorus, Kings in blue
Every cap's a promise, every smile's a con too
Then your face on a screen, calm as a prayer
Snow globes in your penthouse - little worlds in there
Benny ran with the Chip, cards close to his chest
Caesar wants a pawn, NCR wants the rest
But you speak equations - odds, not fear
And the future says: "Courier, bring it here"
Mr. House - raise that Lucky 38
Neon crown in the desert night
Mr. House - deal the future straight
Stack the deck, make the Mojave bright
Roll the dice, hear the Securitrons sing
The House always wins - yeah, the House always wins
Spin, spin - roulette glow Win, win - watch it roll
Click-clack - Securiton grin
The House... always wins
Before the world burned, you watched the clock
RobCo dreams in steel, kept plans under lock
77 suns aimed at Vegas' skin
You disarmed the sky - made the fire miss again
59 went quiet, 9 got cut from air
Lucky 38 lasers screaming through despair
A chip one day late, but the Strip stayed gold
Now you rule through wires, never growing old
NCR writes taxes, Legion writes crosses
You write the House edge - profit over losses
No board, no crown, no prayers in your hall
Just clean neon order, standing over all
Mr. House - raise that Lucky 38
Neon crown in the desert night
Mr. House - deal the future straight
Stack the deck, make the Mojave bright
Roll the dice, hear the Securitrons sing
The House always wins
I heard the Madre calling through a cracked radio
Dean Domino humming where the red cloud glows
Dog and God in the dark, one soul split in two
Christine held her vow like a promise held true
Walked Zion's green canyons - Graham prayed, Daniel stayed
Big MT stole my brain - Mobius looped them, never aged
Storms in the Divide, Ulysses' word-knife sings
But every road comes home to the man who built the wings
Are we just chips on your table, numbers in a line
Or is this neon kingdom the last place hope can shine?
20 years - high tech back alive
50 years - people in orbit, learning how to fly
100 years - colony lights in a cleaner sky
So I place my last bet, and I don't ask why
Mr. House - raise that Lucky 38
Neon crown in the desert night
Mr House - deal the future straight
Stack the deck, make the Mojave bright
Roll the dice, hear the Securitrons sing
The House always win
In pre-War boardroom, you sent a stand-in smile
While Vault-Tec sold tomorrow like a coupon pile
From game to picture show, your shadow's still the air
New Vegas on the horizon - your name is still there
Mr. House... Lucky 38
