| | The Lottery Lyrics Artist(Band):Emily Haines
since bras started burning up ribs in the 60's. Favors are flying, faces are falling, all I desire is to never be waiting. If that’s a crime let’s commit it. There’s a new crime, sexual suicide. When our underwire radio tears into their international airwaves Boredom will Die! Ears will Bleed! All they desire is to give and to please. There’s a new crime, sexual suicide. There’s a new crime, let’s commit it while we’re waiting on the next day, to begin it in the best way. There’s a new crime, sexual suicide. There’s a new crime, let’s commit it. Don’t worry, Heather, about forever. Don’t worry about me. It’s a lottery baby, everybody roll the dice It’s a lottery baby, everybody roll the dice Will we always be like little kids running group to group asking who loves me? Don’t know who loves me! It’s pathetic. It’s impossible. Like girls in stilettos, like girls in stilettos, like girls in stilettos trying to run.

But it did | Reviewer: Morgan P. | 3/19/09 I didn't mean for my previous review to sound quite so over-the-top conservative. I do think it's about the notion of "free love" or the Sex and the City lifestyle. I think what Emily Haines is saying is that sleeping with a whole bunch of people is the new delusion of power and happiness according to Cosmo magazine, but it is not going to give you true gratification. Instead we'll be what we are: a generation of totally insecure women running from man to man looking for someone to love them. So beautiful... | Reviewer: Morgan P. | 1/27/09 So, I think this song is about the sexual liberation movement, and about how women and men thought this would be their key to happiness. In reality, they "roll the dice" with STDs. Life isn't as interesting as they thought it would be, Most importantly, the women who were suckered into this idea are left running from man to man asking if they love her. And it's pathetic, the kind of pathetic you can only see once you have ten years on those kind of games. Like Emily Haines says, "It's pathetic. It's impossible. Like girls in stilettos trying to run." That image is significant because she uses stilettos to sexualize the girls with the heels. I think she's saying that it's ridiculous. That all of our free sex and free love is ridiculous, and that the amazing society it's supposed to has its own problems.
