Gorillaz – Sweepstakes Lyrics

Hip Hop/Rap

Pay day, you're a winner

Pay day, you're a winner
Keep cool, form a line
Scared money, broke money
Bow money, mo' money

So sunny, cloud breaker
Sound like a waverunner
Wild mother, funky drummer
You can get it how you wanna

There's math and there's dealers
And players and me
They say that they winners
Ok well, let's see

You player, you play
The rules of the trade
The math of the date
The times and the age

But you want how you like
Aim high, man, why not?
Sun, moon, starry y'alls
Each and all of y'alls

Mathematics and dealers
And players and me
They say that they winners
Ok well, let's see

Sweepstakes
Sweepstakes
You're a winner

Sweepstakes
You're a winner
Sweepstakes
You're a winner

Sweepstakes
You're a winner
Sweepstakes
You're a winner

Sweepstakes
Sweepstakes
You're a winner

Pay day, you're a winner
Keep cool, form a line
Scared money, broke money
Bow money, mo' money

So sunny, cloud breaker
Sound maker, wave runner
Wild, wonder, funky drummer
You can get it how you wanna

"Who's the winner?" Said the dealer
Every player, "Yeah me"
So you say, "We will see"
Player play, hey, ok

Whatcha want? How you like?
Aim high, why not?
Sun, moon and starry y'alls
Each and every all of y'alls

Who's the winner? Yeah, me
So you say, "We will see"
Cloud breaker, danger beats
Big Fleets
Ha ok, let's eat

Sweepstakes
You're a winner
Sweepstakes
You're a winner

Sweepstakes
You're a winner
Sweepstakes
You're a winner

Pay day, you're a winner
Keep cool, form a line
Scared money, broke money
Bow money, mo' money

So sunny, cloud breaker
Sound maker, wave runner
Wild, wonder, funky someone
You can get at it how you wanna

There's math and there's dealers
And players and killers and me
They say that they winners
Ok well, let's see

You player, you play
The rules of the trade
The math of the date
The times and the age

But you want how you like
Aim high, man, why not?
Sun, moon and starry y'alls
Each and every all of y'alls

There's math and there's dealers
And players and me (sweepstakes)
They say that they winners
Ok well, let's see (you're a winner)

Sweepstakes
You're a winner
Sweepstakes
You're a winner

Pay day, you're a winner
Keep cool, form a line
Scared money, broke money
Bow money, mo' money

So sunny, cloud breaker
Sound maker, wave runner
Wild, wonder, funky drummer
You can get it like you wanna

"Who's the winner?" Said the dealer
Every player, "Yeah me"
So you say, "We will see"
Player play, hey ok

Whatcha want? How you like?
Aim high, why not?
Sun, moon and starry y'alls
Each and every all of y'alls

Who's the winner? Yeah, me
So you say, "We will see"
Cloud breaker, danger beats
Fresh plates
Let's eat

Sweepstakes
You're a winner
Sweepstakes
You're a winner

Sweepstakes
You're a winner
Sweepstakes
You're a winner

Keep cool, form a line
Scared money, broke money
Bow money, mo' money

So sunny, cloud breaker
Sound like a waverunner
Wild mother, funky drummer
You can get it how you wanna

There's math and there's dealers
And players and me
They say that they winners
Ok well, let's see

You player, you play
The rules of the trade
The math of the date
The times and the age

But you want how you like
Aim high, man, why not?
Sun, moon, starry y'alls
Each and all of y'alls

There's math and there's dealers
And players and me

    the song is about how special it feels to win, even without mention of a prize. the prize in the end is garbage, winning is what we all want. the prize ends up as plastic on a beach, lost forgetten worthless to the winner. the feeling of winning lives on
