Lucky

You work hard, you pay your dues Play by the rules but still you lose Stick or twist, I hold my nerve Nobody ever gets what they deserve All the years is a long time But what costs the most is free (Yeah it's free) I'm a double-jointed conman I specialize in mimicry (Mimicry) When I look at my life I see how I've been used I'll never pay back the money I spent Never return the favors I was lent Some have no luck with love But I'm a lucky man Because I mock or 'cause I choose The lucky get the luck And the longshots lose The lucky get the luck And the longshots lose The lucky get the luck And the longshots lose We know what it's about All your luck has run out Leverage your self doubt Chewed you up and spat you out We can leave the scene of the crime We can turn back time We can change Yeah we can change our minds Some have no luck with love But I'm a lucky man (He's a lucky man) Because I mock or 'cause I choose The lucky get the luck And the longshots lose The lucky get the luck And the longshots lose The lucky get the luck And the longshots lose Nothing's too special for you When you two help me through Please say you won't refuse But you got everything to lose (Everything to lose) (Everything to lose) The lucky get the luck And the longshots lose The lucky get the luck And the longshots lose The lucky get the luck And the longshots lose The lucky get the luck And the longshots lose --- Lucky - Gang of Four
