Luck Out
Born with the touch that all the adults like.
My, my, what a little woman I'll grow up to be.
I've got that way of talking and I'm so used to the praise.
So I have muscle and strong chocolate eyes.
My hair is soft and my skin is fair.
My legs are long and my future is just a walk down the block.
And I like being lazy and taking it all in the package.
Only seconds to spare and I'll still make it happen.
Maybe I've got drive but my gears are in neutral.
I like the finer things in life and ask for what I can't have.
My history is burning and my standards are like hot air.
I'll beg like your dog and then slam the door like your child.
So I see in color and my eyes change their own filters.
Gotta be ready for the flash coming your way.
I ain't afraid of your opinions or mine that hide under my bed.
But I got lucky and I impress people somehow.
I can see conformity and fight against it too.
You have your bandwagon and I'm setting the wheels on fire.
Success will have to make room.

"The funny thing about sacrifice is that sometimes, when you think you're losing something, you're actually just passing it on to someone else."
