《What Does It Take To Get Lucky》歌词

[00:00:00] What Does It Take To Get Lucky - Richard Clapton

[00:00:14] Look at my face in the window

[00:00:16] Of that big Mercedes Benz

[00:00:19] I'm just another bum on the streets downtown

[00:00:21] I ain't worked since god knows when

[00:00:24] Each night in Bluesville I been hanging out

[00:00:29] With all the usual layabouts

[00:00:34] I lost my fight with the government

[00:00:38] They stole my life and my confidence

[00:00:52] Ain't had a job for so many years

[00:00:56] Slip sliding down in a big abyss

[00:01:01] So many times got a knife in the back

[00:01:06] That's how it goes on the wrong side of the tracks

[00:01:20] What does it take to get lucky

[00:01:25] When you've been living on the edge

[00:01:30] The price we pay to get happy

[00:01:35] Is way too high for an ordinary man

[00:01:40] What does it take to get lucky

[00:01:44] When you can't beat the government

[00:01:49] When they can smell your desperation

[00:01:54] Ain't got no money and no friends

[00:01:59] So many times I've tried to finally get it right

[00:02:04] Picked myself up again and got on with my life

[00:02:08] I worked my life away working for the basic wage

[00:02:13] When they were done with me

[00:02:15] I found myself out on the street

[00:02:18] What happened to the dream of everything they promised me

[00:02:23] Am I supposed to fade away and leave another vacant space

[00:02:28] Fade to gray and disappear

[00:02:30] Like I was never here

[00:02:32] If there's a god above

[00:02:34] I need a shot of love

[00:03:06] What does it take to get lucky

[00:03:11] We live from one day to the next

[00:03:16] The bankers and the politicians

[00:03:20] Are living high off the ordinary man

[00:03:25] What does it take to get lucky

[00:03:30] We try to make some sense of it

[00:03:35] They feed off all our desperation

[00:03:40] Driving us down to the bitter end

[00:03:44] We all just live our lives from one day to the next

[00:03:49] Pick ourselves up again and try to make amends

[00:03:54] There'll always be some guy holding up another sign

[00:03:59] You can't do this you can't do that

[00:04:01] And you'd just better pay your tax

[00:04:04] Ain't gonna live my life by the laws of church and state

[00:04:08] I'll keep on working for my independence day

[00:04:13] Break away and disappear ain't gonna live in fear

[00:04:18] If there's a god above I need a shot of love
