The Lottery Lyrics by Trace of Lime

I Know It’s Nothing, but I’m Happy It’s Something

2014

Somebody told me that it didn't make sense
But some day they'll need me
I think they'll need me
Pass the papers back to the paper boy
Smoking with the President, congratulations on your government
It can't be wrong, we're all just addicts too
But I heard that there's nothing you can do
But I think I'll just, live the way I want to
Even though, I might get stuck in this moment
All my life
I've been watching, waiting, willing to survive
The prosecutor has a right and there is madness in his eye
Oh, we'll sell it to the people
Yeah
You look tired
You don't look well
I try to get up but I can't help but feel held down
Take what I have
Because I don't need it any way
You do
There is too many voices in my head
Work, work, work your precious bones
And wash them down the drain
I've got these hands around my neck
They want my soul
I'll just keep talking
They can't find a reason
They say I have too much time on my hands
Come on, take your time, take your time, take your time
But you won't find...
Anything
Tell my mind
I won't be coming home
Tell my mind
I won't be coming home
Tell my mind
I won't be coming home
Tell my mind
I won't be coming home
One more drink to pass the time
Don't you worry, I'll be fine
One more drink to pass the time
Don't you worry, I'll be fine
One more drink to pass the time
Don't you worry, I'll be fine
One more drink to pass the time
Don't you worry, I'll be fine
Don't you worry, I'll be fine
