The Lottery

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It happened all in the passing of light We won't see it coming I know that we'll all lose in time But my mind won't stop running [Chorus 1] Blame it on the air that you breathe Well I can't see how anything's nursed on disease Nothing is clean in this place Our only hope is cutting off the nose to spite the face [Chorus 2] Who'll take the lottery? Don't look away We're the unlucky ones I won't let it tear us apart! Who'll take the lottery? Don't look away We're the unlucky ones I won't let it take you [Verse 2] This intrusion's a functioning curse Break the thumb and the whole hand will hurt It's not like moving backwards in time It happened all in the passing of light [Chorus 1] Blame it on the air that you breathe Well I can't see how anything's nursed on disease Nothing is clean in this place Our only hope is cutting off the nose to spite the face [Chorus 2] Who'll take the lottery? We're the unlucky ones I won't let it tear us apart Who'll take the lottery? Don't look away We're the unlucky ones I won't let it take you Who'll take the lottery? Don't look away We're the unlucky ones I won't let it take you
