Lucky Man

Pay your taxes, Mr. Jones

There's someone at your door

Watch out, they'll tap your phones

And undermine your floors

Is that a car outside your window?

Work hard and take the train

You know someday they'll come for you

Read the paper, Mr. Jones

There's a headline in your mind

About a guy who died

Trying to roll the dice

Hide a card inside your sleeve

Don't believe the headlines that you read between the lines

And you make me feel like I'm alone at night

Although you keep me close and hold me tight, yeah

I'm not dreaming of a way to leave

There's only comfort in the lies you tell me, yeah

Watch your back now, Mr. Jones

There's a war on, don't you know?

They're calling in their loans

Leaving nowhere else to go

Look for the car outside your window

Gather up your wife and kids

And leave without a sound

And you make me feel like I'm alone at night

Although you keep me close and hold me tight, yeah

I'm not dreaming of a way to leave

There's only comfort in the lies you tell me, yeah
