Lightning and Luck

Well, lightning won't come and see me He said he's never, ever coming back This world is too full of cowards And I could not disagree with that He was very busy counting up his money Money he'd made at all costs Made from those who protect us Over the wars that they have lost So use whatever you've got To get whatever you want You don't have to look too hard to notice We could use a little lightning and luck Heroes, we have many They stand up for us when we are blind We've built towns and roads and statues And sang their songs that did not rhyme The future just does not matter Tongues are wagging about the past Saying anything to get power A tawdry power that will never last So use whatever you've got To get whatever you want You don't have to look too hard to notice That we need a little lightning and luck Well, there's trouble out on Main Street With all the gun play every day Shooting out the windows Where all the children go to play It doesn't seem to matter much Hell, we all gotta go sometime We've been looking behind this curtain so long But nothing there is worth a dime So use whatever you've got To get whatever you want You don't have to look too hard to notice That we need a little lightning and luck Well, I took a walk just to look around To see what I've seen my whole life Our vanities and confusion And people believe they have rights And they spit at me when I told them That the rights we thought we had are all gone But no one seemed to notice or care They lost 'em all in a deal somewhere So use whatever you've got To get whatever you want You don't have to look too hard to notice That we need a little lightning and luck Just because we think so Doesn't make it true It's just what we think It comes down to what we'll do And I'm aware that this is obvious But actions mean a lot We need to keep a grip on our emotions Or else we'll all be lost So use whatever you've got To get whatever you want You don't have to look too hard to notice That we need a little lightning and luck We could all use some lightning and luck
