Cover art for Sweepstakes lyrics by Gorillaz

Gambling and carnival games.

"Who's a winner/said the dealer"- Dealer's asking a group of people around a table playing a card game who has the best hand.

"Every player/Yeah me"- Every player thinks that he or she has the best hand.

"So you say/we will see"- Dealer is asking every player to reveal his hand, to see the winner.

"Pay or play/A-Okay"- You win or you lose. You lose, you pay. You win, you keep playing.

"The math of the day"- Probability is math. Those who know how to play the probability will win. "Aim high man, why not?"- Those who don't know the probability will bet high. Their reasoning? "Why not?"

"Payday! You're a winner! Keep cool, form a line!"- Step right up! Everyone's a winner! Form a line, now! One at a time!

SunMoonStars is the GAMES master on Plastic Beach. "His" song is, of course, going to be about games.
