There's nothing I'd rather do Than hide my face in this pillow Far away from the world And all my great expectations This American dream had her way with me Taught me to be who I wanted to be But life seems more like a lottery These days I wish I was lucky I wish I had money Just a little something to show for the work I've done I Wish I had a plan that worked Shine a light get lucid I wish I had knew a god up above who would draw me up a blueprint Yeah I ain't got much confidence It all went away After fifteen years of fighting To end up in the same place Well I heard the late night preacher On this motel TV set Selling me his old ideas Like I haven't heard them yet I'd rather be lucky I'd rather have money Yeah just a little something to show for the work I've done I'd rather have a plan that worked Shine a light get lucid I'd rather know a god up above who could Draw me up a blueprint Shine a light Shine a light Blueprint Trader Nick makes bets down on Wall street His old man rolls dice down the block While his mom puts her faith in religion It all comes from the same spot Their all searching for some secret To flip the downside up Any guess is good as any Any guess is worth a shot I'd rather be lucky I'd rather have money Just a little something to show for the work I've done Yeah I'd rather have a plan that worked Shine a light, get lucid I'd rather know a god up above who could Draw me up a blueprint I'd rather have a god up above who could Draw me up a blueprint
