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.
