Luck Song

The Cat Empire - Luck Song

So by now you have seen me
By now I have seen you
Would you would you would you
Move with me

Looked through a looking glass
and what did I see?
I saw one thousand cameras shooting
and a giant TV
and a mass of people sitting watching
watching that big screen
when around them was a fire burning
that they couldn't see
they couldn't breathe but kept watching
and thought things they would be fine
believed that the screen
would be screening for all of time
conceived the idea they were
behind the screen divine
but when it came to living
were what petrol is to wine

Hear through some speakers sounding
what did I hear?
I hear some plastic singer singing
plastic lyrics in my ear
and a mass of empty hands clapping
with an empty cheer
when in the distance was some soul music
that they couldn't hear
neared the speaker with the plastic song
and tried their best to move
cleared a floor and tried to shake it
but they couldn't find their groove
they feared to recognise that what they heard
was music abused
and when it came to dancing
their bodies refuse

So by now you have seen me
By now I have seen you
Would you would you would you
Move with me
