lyrics
[Verse 1]
I find myself stuck at a crossroads
Feel I could implode under this heavy load
Feel that I'm being followed by a black cloud
My life was upside down
Now I'm turning my life around
Didn't matter where I was
Coz, I just wanted to feel that buzz
I wanted to feel that thrill
Didn't care about the cost, didn't care about the bill
I found that the pokies took all of my time
I was in a bind
Didn't realize I was leaving my dreams behind
Would have lost everything, then I opened my eyes
I saw I couldn't resist the itch
Addiction is a witch
And it was hell stitched up in its spell.
[Hook]
Your life's your own to deal
Don't rely on the cards or the spin of a wheel
We need to have a voice, take a stance
Ending harmful gambling is a choice and not chance.
[Verse 2]
It feels as if gambling has got you in a trap
You spend all your time gambling, you have no life outside that
Now you wanna have control, you want your life back
You feel like you’ve lost your way
Find you’re losing your loved ones, losing ya pay
It can seem as if your troubles weigh, a tonne
If you’ve ever felt like this, you’re not the only one
It’s a battle that needs to be fought
Don't have to fight alone, get some support
So even if you’re fed up
Don’t ya ever let up
Just keep going, keep on stepping up
Gotta keep moving forward, gotta advance
It's all up to choice and not chance
These are the words we need to sing
Let's choose to end harmful gambling.
[Hook]
Your life's your own to deal
Don't rely on the cards or the spin of a wheel
We need to have a voice, take a stance
Ending harmful gambling is a choice and not chance.
