lyrics

I’ve always tried but I never won
I’m sick of all my chances being slim to none
But I won’t give up, it’s not in my blood
I won’t accept defeat
And I won’t look at the odds as being
Far from my favor
I don’t think I’ll survive if the luck doesn’t come
Sooner than later

Well it’s the lottery, it’s all a gamble
Make you rich or leave you in shambles
(x2)

I don’t know if I’ll cry, or if I’ll just faint and fall
But I guess it’s none of my worries
Because I don’t feel anything at all
If karma’s come to catch me
Won’t you rip it off like tape
If I don’t deserve to win at all
Well I guess it’s just my fate

Well it’s the lottery, it’s all a gamble
Make you rich or leave you in shambles
(x2)
Well it’s the lottery
It’s the lottery and it’s all a gamble
(x2)

I wanna leave behind my car
And forget about the bills
‘cause I’ve never been concerned with paper
And I couldn’t care less still

Well it’s the lottery, it’s all a gamble
Make you rich or leave you in shambles
(x2)
Well it’s the lottery
It’s the lottery and it’s all a gamble
