But ap parently on lotto forms
you can tick publicity or
no publicity.
And I thought, I just thought,
if you turn it on its head,
I know it's designed for the
winner
to have some privacy,
but I just wondered
whether the loser
needed some privacy as well.
So I came up with this thought,
we hold that thought.
I could not believe my eyes
when I saw the sign for the lotto prize and thought,
though I am not a gambling man,
I bought a ticket all the same.
And the tiny print I did n't see
said tick for no publicity
And Thursday came,
I watched the drawer
and my numbers didn't match
Everyone says hi,
aren't you that losing lotto guy?
The big one passed me by
and the lotto wrecked my life
You see, Friday morning, 5am,
the phone calls, door knocks
all began the papers, radio, TV,
all camped out side my door.
With how's it feel to miss the cash
and what's it like being loser trash,
you pathetic lotto funded dreamer,
your numbers were a joke.
Everyone says hi,
aren't you that losing lotto guy,
the big one passed me by,
and lotto wrecked my life
and they all know my name
and they all see my shame
I've only got myself to blame
cuz a lot of wrecked my life
and total strangers
saying to me
you should have ticked no publicity
now the whole world gets to see
that a lot of wrecked my life
and I think it's kind of strange
that before I played that game,
I thought my world was pretty okay.
But now, Lotto wrecked my life.
