Legally they call it lottery

It’s actually indirect robbery

Numbers electronically set scrambling

And presented as a form of gambling

 

It wasn’t designed to put money into your wallet

It was designed to draw money out of your pocket

The chance of winning big is very, very slim

And yet they make you think it’s easy to win

 

They tell you to stake one dollar

And you can win a million dollar

Something they call the Jackpot

And don’t want to say Moneypot

 

Who can honestly offer you a million dollar

And all they ask in return is just one dollar?

If this doesn’t make sense to you

You shouldn’t let them fool you
