"Sports Betting"

Back in 2018
Sports gambling
Was lobbied and legalized
After the housing crash
Folks were low on cash
And what economy don't love a vice?

Now New Jersey spearheaded the movement
And seven years to the date
You got 40 states
Give or take
Where you can up the stakes
And win the lotto on a big parlay

Now I'm a Draft Kingin'
Prize Pickin'
Fan Duelin'
MGM bettin'
Caesar son of a gun
What I love most
Is knowing what I'm doing
Ain't hurting no one

I don't DM the players
Harass 'em
Give 'em orders
Saying, "slam dunk a touchdown!"
"Give me a rebound!"
"I need me a home run back in the fourth quarter!"

They got my location, my card, and my data
It's easier than going all the way to Nevada
I got a money draining game in my pocket
More addictive than cocaine
But I can stop it
They told me I was smart
They wouldn't lie to me
You know the dealer's rules
The first game's for free

Good people going broke
Life saving getting spent
Yeah the odds are good
But these goods aren't it
You know that 20% of gambling addicts attempt
