I went out in the world I lived in London town Though I knew that those streets weren't paved with gold I looked up to a man and he never let me down But he said if you want your music sold you should Be smart or lucky If you can't break the mould, break the rules Make friends or money But if you would be King be cruel There is no clockwork in the stars No-one cares how good you are Look around the world is full Of hungry souls who want it all Space inside they have to fill Friendship they're prepared to kill Hunger is their guiding light They scratch they claw they push they fight Just to be lucky (Vote for me) Now I've come so far People ask for clues Saying how have you found the peace you've earned It was one night in a bar A young man on the move asked me What's the one thing that you've learnt And I said Be smart or lucky If you can't break the mould, break the rules Make friends or money But if you would be King be cruel How much do you want the prize Will you freely sacrifice Pride and your integrity For fortune and celebrity Break the rules You'd better be cruel Break the rules Be lucky
