What Are the Odds?
They don't want you to stop when the fun stops
That's just some shit they say
They just wanna look like they give a fuck
But their business model doesn't work that way
Don't take time out
Don't look away
Don't set any limits
They need you to believe
That you could hit the jackpot any minute
They don't want you to take control
They don't want you to take a break
They just want you to think that you're on a roll
And this could be your lucky day
Don't take time to think
Cos it could be you today
Everyone's a winner
They're practically giving their cash away
You bet that they hate you
When you win
But they love you
When you lose
And you'll never own up
To the fix that you're in
With so many games to choose
Double or nothing
Place your bets
They're playing you for a fool
You can believe that its harmless fun
Till all you've got left is the clothes you've got on
Empty out your pockets
Empty out your bank
Get a payday loan
And buy yourself another chance
Blow your money
Starve your kids
This is where action is
Is this where the fun begins
Or is it where it ends?
Another free spin
And they're reeling you in
Giving you nothing
You think it's a win
One day we'll look back
And wonder how we let this happen
Some day you'll see that the odds were all stacked
Some day you'll see the pattern
But the pushers just keep paying their tax
And their care and compassion is a cynical act
They know what they're doing
With all the lives they ruin
Sucking you in
All the gambling ads
Bombarding your brain every day
It's hard to admit
In the grip of addiction
You can't look away
You're out of control
And you're digging a hole
Now there's no escape
But it's so much fun to play
Till the money runs away
Empty out your pockets
Empty out your bank
Get a payday loan
And buy yourself another chance
Blow your money
Starve your kids
This is where action is
Is this where the fun begins
Or is it where it ends?
You're never alone with a casino on your phone
Just waiting for lady luck to throw you a bone
But lady luck doesn't give a fuck you know
Before you know it you've pissed away
Every single thing that you own
When the penny drops
I bet you never saw this coming
What are the odds?
What are the odds?
What are the odds?
What are the odds?
What are the odds?
That's just some shit they say
They just wanna look like they give a fuck
But their business model doesn't work that way
Don't take time out
Don't look away
Don't set any limits
They need you to believe
That you could hit the jackpot any minute
They don't want you to take control
They don't want you to take a break
They just want you to think that you're on a roll

What are the odds?
What are the odds?
What are the odds?
What are the odds?
