lyrics

JANUARY 6, PART FOUR: THE LUCKY ONE

Let me tell you ‘bout the state I’m in
They notified the next of kin
I’m just one who made it out alive

When the lies and fury converged
We heard the roar, we felt the surge
I swore to serve, I swore to protect

(Break)

From where the anger, from where the rage?
The deception of the age
Who said it’s time to be strong

On they came, so red and white
So proud and so assured they’re right
It all came straight down on me

Ah-ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah
Down on me

No retreat, no comply
I can only wonder why
What was, what was it all for?

I got home late, I kissed my wife
I chose this kind of life
My God, I’m the lucky one

Ah-ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah
Lucky One

(Solo)

Let me tell you ‘bout the state I’m in
They notified the next of kin
I’m the one who made it out alive
