lyrics

THE UNLUCKY ONE

Is there something I could have done
Just to ease my way through this world?
Is there something I should’ve said?
Maybe I’m just the unlucky one

Oh Fate, you’re a cruel god
And you’re deaf, you’re dumb, you’re blind
Good Fortune is arbitrary, uh oh
And I’m the unlucky one
You made me the unlucky son of a gun

Well maybe I was born to lose
To come last in the human race
I’ve been kicking at the dark trying to make it bleed
Fighting heaven for a little grace
Oh my God how about a break?!

Should I laugh or should I cry?
Shake my fist at the empty sky?
Destiny is a friend of everybody else
But I’m the unlucky one
You made me the unlucky son of a gun

Well maybe I was…

I thought maybe this time would be different
But I feel something coming on
Just when I see it all starting to come right
I can feel something going wrong
Is there something I should’ve done?
