lucky sometimes

there is a place that's far away from here

where the sun beats like a drum but the skies are never clear

every day is harder than the last

and the answers never come no matter how often you ask

i feel lucky sometimes

i should feel lucky all the time

there is a kid in a bunker full of sand

all around him he hears voices he'll never understand

every night is longer than the last

with fever dreams of war machines and never coming back

i feel lucky sometimes

when i should feel lucky all the time

but it's easy to ignore

like the distant sound of thunder

and it's strange that i don't wonder

who is caught inside the storm

who is caught inside the storm

i had a friend from back when we were kids

after school he joined the army and i haven't seen him since

every day the news is all the same

i go flipping through the pages hoping i won't see his name

i feel lucky sometimes

i should feel lucky all the time
