Watercress - Don't Be A Dope lyrics

Ordinary people don't spend money buying dope They spend it on the lottery because it gives them hope Maybe next week they'll get luck, or maybe after that They can leave their sh**ty job and move out of that flat Don't be a dope, don't be a dope, don't be a dope Don't be a dope, don't be a dope, don't buy hope Don't be a dope, don't be a dope, don't be a dope Don't be a dope, don't be a dope, don't buy hope Their money buys them nothing And the government are laughing And they're taxing all the people who can't see They're never gonna win it, they should live life for the minute 'Cause the present is the only place to be I don't wanna live my life until I'm seventy-three Waiting on the jackpot in the lottery So I can buy a little island in the Caribbean Sea I guess that all that nonsense is just not for me The people spend their money just so they can have a dream How are they to know that it's a government scheme To make the working people think that they have esteem It makes me so angry I could scream Don't be a dope, don't be a dope, don't be a dope Don't be a dope, don't be a dope, don't buy hope Don't be a dope, don't be a dope, don't be a dope Don't be a dope, don't be a dope, don't buy hope The people have real problems, it's a false solution The government are trying to stop a revolution By doping people's minds with a hopeful solution The confusion is we're living an illusion Don't buy your dreams Don't be a dope, don't be a dope, don't be a dope Don't be a dope, don't be a dope, don't buy hope Don't be a dope, don't be a dope, don't be a dope Don't be a dope, don't be a dope, don't buy hope
