akira the don - luck is the residue of design lyrics

Loading...

people say things like
i do this in a kind of self+deprecating way
well, i’ve been lucky in this that
and you know, very well though, a lot of life is luck
but then a lot of it is, and it’s underplayed
you also work hard
i realized some time ago that because i’m born in britain
i have that natural tendency to like underplay, “so i’m just lucky and that”
and somebody said to me you shouldn’t do that, you do work very hard
and i thought, yes, but saying, “well, i’ve been lucky in that” is a nice way to say to other people
“oh, i haven’t really had an input, and you don’t need particularly either”
it’s a flattering thing to say to somebody elsе
which ignores a wonderful phrase of branch rickеy i came across
[pre+chorus]
luck is the residue of design
luck is the residue of design
luck is the residue of design

a lot of what we call luck
it has come about through something other than chance
i used to say, you are lucky to be born in america
and on one level that’s true, which is like you could have been born in the great pool
you could have been born in mogadishu
and it be a lot worse but there’s also something that covers up
which is the luck is the people before you made good choices
that meant that you are in a situation which is more optimal
and it’s not simply luck that you have in america the right to freedom of speech

[chorus]
luck is the residue of design
luck is the residue of design
it’s the consequence of men and women
making good decisions
men and women making good decisions
luck is the residue of design
luck is the residue of design

we have to find a better way to understand, what we often mean by luck
you have luck in your life, sometimes because other people
have made good judgements that are effectively for you, before your time
your politicians, your family and others
it’s not just, it’s not just some wild whirly gig
it’s also make prudent decisions
make wise decisions, work hard and a lot more
and you’ll find that you are what we call lucky or luckier
don’t do any of that stuff, put everything off all the time
be lazy, unmotivated, blame other people all the time
the things that you could correct yourself
and you will find you are the type of person that is described as unlucky
[chorus]
luck is the residue of design
luck is the residue of design
it’s the consequence of men and women
making good decisions
men and women making good decisions
luck is the residue of design
luck is the residue of design

[chorus by akira]
luck is the residue of design
luck is the residue of design
it’s the consequence of men and women
making good decisions
men and women making good decisions
luck is the residue of design
luck is the residue of design
