Better Being Lucky

Paint a picture in your mind
You don't need details, everything's fine
Roll yourself up a hill
Sew your patch on with a porcupine quill
Eat a cupcake with a spoon
Walk a tightrope between the sun and the moon
When it's time to make a kill
Ask that soldier to please stand still
You don't need to have some fancy name
You don't have to play some pointless game
The ones out there? They're all the same
There's nothing wrong with being lucky
Grow some daisies in a car
Your enemies, they won't get far
Shoot an arrow down a hill
It doesn't matter whose blood you spill
Plaid on top, twill on bottom
I'd've worn my wingtips but I forget 'em
Fire that mortar, ask her to dance
Keep things in order, to hell with romance
You don't need to have some fancy name
You don't have to play some petty game
The ones out there? They're all the same
Just when you think you've got everything tamed
The whole wide world it goes right up in flames
The ones out there? They're all to blame
There's nothing wrong with being lucky

Ordinary Men

Ordinary men
The right place, the wrong time
You get to decide where the devil lives
You get to decide who the devil is
Ordinary men
The wrong place, the right time
You don't get to hide behind circumstance
You don't get to lie about blood romance
In the rhyming of history we are creatures of subtlety
Can we consider things with the slow regard silence brings?
Ordinary men
You'll be the same until you're well and truly dead
Ordinary men
You've seen your way and tried to be truly well read
Ordinary men
An inherited heritage of catastrophe
Ordinary men
You will rewrite the missive that your children will read
In the rhyming of history we are creatures of subtlety
Can we consider things with the slow regard silence brings?
Take your time, plot a graph
Use the courage of your convictions
Up in flames, a giraffe
Where once was innocence distilled
Taste the shame of the last laugh
Use the courage of your convictions
Write the name of the last
Where once was innocence distilled
Take your time, plot a graph
Use the courage of your convictions
Up in flames, a giraffe
Where once was innocence distilled
Taste the shame of the last laugh
Use the courage of your convictions
Speak the name of the last
Where once was innocence distilled
Say their names
Speak their names
Write their names
Say their names
Write their names
Speak their names
Say their names
Who once were innocence distilled
