Luck

Luck is a sham Created by those Who hope against hope That our dreams will come true But accomplishing is created by doing And wishes and wants Are unobtainable if made just so Wishes and wants Do you remember a time When we got up And changed the world for the better Because I don't I remember people on the news Talking about hunger and homes lost But never a solution for it Now we rip the feet off rabbits Expecting it to do us good And horseshoes And three leaf clovers And pennies All worshiped without question Relying on luck Like Dorothy did the Wizard of Oz But he was a fake, too And this time We can't click our heels three times Waiting for our problems to be solved Because this time There's no magic or luck on our side Just us
