We live in trailers and apartments too From California to Kalamazoo Grow up get married and when that one ends We hate sleeping alone so we get married again Don’t wanna be buried in debt or in sin So we pray to Jesus and we play the lotto Cause there ain’t but two ways We can change tomorrow And there ain’t no genie And there ain’t no bottle So we pray to Jesus and we play the lotto We love to complain about what we can’t fix Mostly mothers in law traffic and politics We tell our kids how hard it was back when Same way our parents did to us back then Thought we’d be different but we’re just like them Yeah we pray to Jesus and we play the lotto Cause there ain’t but two ways We can change tomorrow And there ain’t no genie And there ain’t no bottle So we pray to Jesus and we play the lotto BRIDGE We load our kids up in our new used car And after church we hit the mini mart Behind the counter up there on the wall It reads 200 million on the power ball Six little numbers that could change it all So we pray to Jesus and we play the lotto Cause there ain’t but two ways We can change tomorrow And there ain’t no genie And there ain’t no bottle So we pray to Jesus and we play the lotto Like a bumpersticker, like a poor man’s model Times are troubled and time is borrowed So we pray to Jesus and we play the lotto
