he won the lottery when he was born
took his mothers white breast to his tongue
trained like dogs, color and smell
walks by me to get to him

he won the lottery by being born
big hand slapped a white male american
do no wrong, so clean cut...
dirty his hands, it comes right off

police stopped my brother again
police stopped my brother again

jesus greets me...looks just like me...

this song fucking rules! whos with me here, I think they need to def bring this one back into the setlists, and not just as a tag to daughter. i esp love the version from atlanta 94 with King's X singer Doug Pannick, 'he won the lotteraaay!'

    It is a great song...the "Jesus greats me line" is so great. So much deepness to this, alot of people think the song is rambling, but I think it is wicked.

    I love that song. The drumming in it is just amazing, david a. was by far their best drummer.

    for some reason it reminds me of "in my tree"
    everything has chains
    absolutely nothing's changed
    take my hand, not my picture

    Thank you!! I've wondered for over 10 years who it was singing on that version! haha, crazy! And definitely needs to come back into the shows.
