U. D. O.: "Bad Luck" Lyrics

I have to tell a story - about a man

Never in the mood - to change his life

Nobody wants to help him - as he spirals down

But one day the wrong decision - hit him overnight



No more cocktail parties - champagnes run dry

No company take-overs - stock markets high

No more hand-jobs in the boardroom - sex is history

And no saunas, no jacuzzis - the penalties youll reap



At last he realized - he did it wrong

Messed big time everywhere - double-dealing lies



Hes going down on his bad luck - his just deserts

Hes going down on his bad luck - what he deserved



His old man told him always - listen son

Its a two-way street to fortune - you gotta hit and run

Dont forget the mirror - look whos behind

And dont you come up crying - when its faster coming down



At last he realized - he did it wrong

Messed big time everywhere - double-dealing lies



Hes going down on his bad luck - his just deserts

Hes going down on his bad luck - what he deserved

Hes going down on his bad luck - its his time

Hes going down on his bad luck - cant rewind



Do you get the story - you know this man

Have you learned a lesson - do you understand

When all you got is crystal - you shouldnt cast a stone

So be careful when you go up - cause youll meet them coming down



Hes going down on his bad luck - his just deserts

Hes going down on his bad luck - what he deserved

Hes going down on his bad luck - its his time

Hes going down on his bad luck - cant rewind
