 out to me were the eyes of the people. I
 felt as though I could actually see hope. Eyes 
 seemed to sparkle and everyone in the hall

highest interest payments
for all is for time
some born free some with the bill

so what is this life
for some all that is touched gold
the power of the plough died

life had not been kind their land
arid accepted them both
one headstone dues paid

Look up to the sky
will you live or will you die?
is a lottery you see
we the west dropping aid
pretty and adorable exploding bombs
the grandest casino of war
will we save you?
even so not for long
you will be slaughtered 
our masters decide

the early bird gets the worm
wake up in the morning to be told
what one of the winning numbers is
playing along
can you figure out
the metaphors throughout the scenes
from music to movies
and wherever else

an amazing statement
and finaly you know
there is method to all your madness

so many scenes...

There is a certain kind of game to play
It states that you can win in any way
Scratch off the secret spot
Thinking you’ve won a lot
Disappointed, you lose every penny

If I won the lottery today,
I would shout "Hip, hip, hooray!"
It would be a miracle, no doubt,
If it really came about,
As I've not bought a ticket to play.

Cars raced passed, 
As I patiently waited, 
Nervously filled with distrust. 
At a crossing where safe crossing, 
Is now indicated, 
This courier of fortunes 
Not yet out of luck. 
  
I pick up my pace 
Like a man on a mission. 
My thoughts now...

I used to say if I won the lottery, I would buy a big church for my Dad.
But that country preacher has gone to glory, and now has a mansion for his pad.
For my Mother I would buy a big house, and a brand new...

We three sat in the bar
Horse racing on TV
Lets take a gamble said we
As the horse,s  lined up, just three
We all backed a different horse
None of us won, how come
My stake was a straight win on the second
My mate had a straight win on...

Worthless lottery ticket!
I blew a pound,
Hoping you would be a winner.
I only used a quid I found,
But I could have spent it 
On something wiser.
Worthless lottery ticket!
Should I become a miser?

Stupid lottery ticket!
You won ten quid.
Just three numbers matched.
You’ve done better than the last one...

Rick held a winning ticket and a flame

He said, “Dear, I love you more than this claim!”

Just before he set fire

She charged with a live wire

And soon a wealthy widow she became...

Genetic Lottery Wheel


Playing the genetic lottery wheel taking another spin
Hoping it will pass me by but I always seem to win

Placed around the wheel various illnesses and diseases
Addictions, mood swings or joints that ache or freezes

Diabetes, high blood pressure, and osteoporosis
 Thank God I haven’t...
