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
