The Lucky Ones

[Verse 1]
I can't really take him
So I'll just have to fake it
Pretend that I'm the lucky one
His deep pontification's
The source of my frustrations
I'm smiling and just acting dumb

[Chorus 1]
He's repeating all the same old stories
He's the center of them all
He's reliving all the same sad glory
And aren't we all the lucky ones?

[Verse 2]
New blood think he's charming
Brilliant and disarming
Convinced that they're the fortunate sons
But he's so unrelenting
Blind and unrepenting
And pretty soon he's down to one

[Chorus 2]
He's not listening to anything we're saying
Interrupts before we're done
Doesn't know the heavy price he's paying
Aren't we all the lucky ones?

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus 1]
He's repeating all the same old stories
He's the center of them all
He's reliving all the same sad glory
And aren't we all the lucky ones?

[Verse 1]
I can't really take him
So I'll just have to fake it
Pretend that I'm the lucky one
His deep pontification's
The source of my frustrations
I'm smiling and just acting dumb

[Outro]
2, 3!
