The Hampdens - Lucky Man lyrics

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 your 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 dies 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 Though you keep me close and hold me tight I'm not dreaming of a way to leave there's only comfort in the lies you tell me Watch your back now Mr. Jones, there's a war on don't you know? They're calling in their loans, leaving no where 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 Though you keep me close and hold me tight I'm not dreaming of a way to leave there's only comfort in the lies you tell me
