Just gimme a bromide
Something clever to go buy
Some end-all slogan
To be known by
Give me a piece of your own mind
Like some jackpot soundbyte
Some bumper sticker to be quoted like scripture
All around the town
This is lotto prophecy
Swingin' on a hollow policy
Hanging clever signs on a dollar tree
Is always easier than making yourself some change
So just gimme a t-shirt
With some repeated phrase
That you can stamp your feet to
In and out of phase
Just gimme some gratitute
Or some immaculate grudge
And lay it out in platitudes
Because no one here is thinking very much at all
This is lotto prophecy
Swingin' on a hollow policy
Hanging clever signs on a dollar tree
Is always easier than making yourself some change
Hey
Well just gimme a Mastercard
At some astounding rate
And they can purchase your problems
And curry your favor, courier favor
Buy some bottled oxygen
And the latest postal stamp
And you can purge all of your talk-sins
Through a broken Marshall amp
This is lotto prophecy
Swingin' on a hollow policy
Hanging clever signs on a dollar tree
Is always easier than making yourself some change
Hey
This is lotto prophecy
Swing it on a hollow policy
Hang a clever sign on a dollar tree
Because it's always easier than asking yourself to change
