Sold Out

Sat at home on the couch
Sit's a man cynical burnt out 
Pondering this question?
Which do I have more chance of achieving?
Turning a life around all by myself
Or winning the lottery
With odd's of 14 million to 1
I stand a 50 / 50 chance
Because I know I can buy a ticket for the lottery
Where as my life has already been sold out
