about

Some have said winning the lottery has become the ‘new American Dream’. I have also heard that many people that actually manage to win, end up miserable and even, sometimes, broke.

Musical Maximalism.

lyrics

Bought himself a little dream
Two dollar ticket for the lottery
Pack of cigarettes and a magazine
Cute girl behind the counter said ‘you must be feeling lucky’
But draw day work don’t mean a thing
Everybody wants to be a king
One of these days
I’m gonna take it easy

Tear up my schedule with all my hours
Finally understand what they mean
when they say money is power
Dance along and out the door
Tell them I’m not coming back anymore
I’m gonna take it easy

Some men sell their dreams and call it the simple life
Get a job, buy a car find a wife
Bury all those things they told themselves they might have been
Have a couple kids
Pass those dreams on to him

But draw day work don’t mean a thing
They sneak off and play the lottery
They take it easy

Thanks for visiting and having a listen to our music. These songs are about people I have known, or, have never known and would like to know and, in some cases people I wish I’d never known. However, on the whole, these songs are about feeling unknown.
