The Lottery Lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen

I regret to inform you

That I did not win the lottery last night

I know this may come as a shock

And I'd love a redo

But I've got to move on with my life

I wish there was a way

To change my fate

Or at least let go of my regrets

I'm not greedy

Or particularly needy

There's just nothing but receipts in my wallet

Ladies and gentlemen

I bought too many cigarettes

Why are they never on sale?

That goddamn convenience store

Hasn't seen nothing yet

Just wait for me to exhale

All they ever sell me

Is stuff to kill my body

And my mind has grown fucking sick of it

I don't need any new problems

But that place could really solve some

If they just sold me a winning ticket

Or I could burn the bitch to the ground

If money is time and time's all that we have

Then maybe some cash would make all this less bad

If I had a dime for every time I've cried

Maybe then I could pay my rent on time

If God is a lie or he's already dead

Then why do I still hear his voice in my head?

He tells to me drink and he tells me these lies

Like all that I need is more money in my life

If I actually win, I promise to do good

Unlike the rich who never actually would

I'd make some changes and improve the lives

Of people who have diseases like mine

Or I'd find a cave where I could truly live free

Burn all of my winnings and learn on my own

What it means to be happy

A girl was looking for something to eat

So she sat and asked for help

A man in a suit passed her on the street

Gave her a dollar and told her

"Go buy something nice for yourself"
