$$$
Stands at eight million.
I heard they take sixty percent in taxes,
But, man, I don't mind.
It'll afford me a condo in Seattle,
High in the sky,
Where I'll drink $20 bottles of wine-
Watching the sun set.
Buy my mama a new pair of legs.
And let my brother know peace
For his worried fingers
And his babies' mouths.
--Buy me a first class ticket to Lisbon,
Walk the calçadas of Salazar's Portugal
Where my grandmother bought bread
And dreamt of a better life for her progeny.
When I win me the lottery.

When I Win Me the Lottery
The state lotteryStands at eight million.
I heard they take sixty percent in taxes,
But, man, I don't mind.
It'll afford me a condo in Seattle,
High in the sky,
Where I'll drink $20 bottles of wine-
Watching the sun set.
Buy my mama a new pair of legs.
And let my brother know peace
For his worried fingers
And his babies' mouths.
--Buy me a first class ticket to Lisbon,
Walk the calçadas of Salazar's Portugal
Where my grandmother bought bread
And dreamt of a better life for her progeny.
When I win me the lottery.
