I never did have anything,
I never wanted much anyway.
I never learned how to play the game
like the lucky few.
I was in love but it fell apart,
I never cared much from the start,
and now I keep my distance
from those happy hearts of the lucky few.
And I, I know that I'll survive.
And I, I'm glad to be alive.
But I won't be like you-
one of the lucky few.
I hang around this crazy town,
I watch these people throw their money 'round,
the second coming wouldn't slow them down-
Oh, the lucky few.
And I, I know that I'll survive.
And I, I'm glad to be alive.
But I won't be like you-
one of the lucky few.
Yeah, one of the lucky few.
