the unknown warriors - O Lucky Man Lyrics

I never killed anybody
And I've never been broke
There's always food on my table
And it seems okay that I smoke
I got a beautiful family
And a wonderful girl
The world has been my oyster
Although I never got the pearl
So if it's ninety per cent disappointment
And only ten per cent is joy
You gotta roll with the ninety
Rock the ten and enjoy
O lucky man take a look at what you've been given
The chances you've had and never taken
You take for granted where others thank heaven
And you waste time like you think you'll live for ever
A shining path that leads straight on till morning
I had a mother who loved me
And a father who cared
Always somewhere to run to
Whenever I was scared
I was never a victim
Of cruelty or loss
In school I played the wild man
Pretended I didn't give a toss
So if it's ninety per cent disappointment
And only ten percent is joy
You gotta roll with the ninety
Rock the ten and enjoy
O lucky man take a look at what you've been given
The chances you've had and never taken
You take for granted where others thank heaven
And you think you can fly soar like an eagle
Just don't look down in case that courage fails
Yeah walk on by let others do the running
Whatever they seek you know
It'll be there for you anyway
O lucky man
