Lyrics
LOTTERY
Words and Music by Andrea Wittgens (2002)
Have a little faith. Your number?s-a-calling
Time?s a little late but her hearts in the right place
We got a plan and it can?t wait
We?re holding out. Holding out for the big one
Stumble into some kind of wild boom or bust fund
Yeah enough for the long run
Hey Hey what will they say when we take the lottery?
Hey Hey what will they say when we take the lottery?
Chances are slim and the odds make you wonder
Up a little short or you?re just out from under
Then your world?s crashing like thunder
Call it like you see it but don?t bet on the new girl
Got a pretty face well let?s bet on the new girl
For all the love in the free world
Hey Hey what will they say when we take the lottery?
Hey Hey what will they say when we take the lottery?
Luck live underground like a shrew
Why why you gotta be so elusive and cruel
Hey fate, you?re a scam in a dirty suit
We?re still around like we were never down to begin with
Back on our game and your are our witness
Let?s say a prayer for the faithless
Sometimes I feel it like it?s just round the corner
Waiting all this time for me to make my way round the corner
Working off somebody?s order
Hey Hey what will they say when we take the lottery?
Hey Hey what will they say when we take the lottery?
