Boy you think you're in control
You're just an actor in someone else's show
Are you chosen by the ones who pull the strings?
A young lover, or a master of the fling
Playing the lottery
Lovers and pretty dreams
Dancers of destiny
Playing the lottery
One thing about this place I know so well
It shines like an oyster in a shell
We're spoiled with dreams
Watching the spinning wheel
Playing the lottery
Winners with pretty genes
You'll see them on TV
Playing the lottery
Grab a ticket get on board
One last prayer to the Lord
Destination LA
A smile for every mile and sunshine every day
You took swing, got a hit, next day struck out, sorry kid
Some see the cash and fun
Others the setting sun
They're just like you and me
Playing the lottery
