Addiction To Greed

Slots machines are my favorite thing to do I love to watch the wheels go round and round And also when it rings and lights up with sounds Bonus round..... Yesssssssss I'm in I get five Hopefully lucky spins The first spin goes and I hit 10 bucks Yessssssss...I yell 2nd spin comes and goes 3rd spin comes and goes 4th spin comes and ..... Yessssssssssssss 50 bucks Wooo Hoo I shout And everyone comes running over They all thought I hit A big one you see The the 5th spin comes and there is nothing for me So I keep pulling that lever of joy The winning seems to fade away Just like the paycheck I got today 500 hundred dollars later Thinking I was going to win big I should have went home While I was ahead How do I explain to my wife and kids What I just did I can win it back I keep saying to myself All I know Right now I am in hell Pull after pull I spend the rest of the night I know when I get home Me and My wife Are going to have a fight
