Wild Card Letra

we are gathered here on this special day to splash water on a new born baby and bow our heads and pray that he won't be like his father and marry too young the girl that he meets in college the obvious one may he inherit money or just those hazel eyes it's all in the shuffle of the genes like the roll of a dice so be lucky, be very very lucky beat the odds don't depend on your family and don't put your trust in god just be lucky be very very lucky the deck is stacked but you may be the wild card missing from the pack the godfather is renouncing the devil hoping the devil isn't listening the baby is bawling his eyes out well, it is his christening on this family occasion there are three generations doctors, lawyers, thieves and poets and leaders of nations everybody's here everybody came to watch a priest give a bundle of lard a blessing and a name be lucky... everybody's saying a little prayer for you everybody's promising they'll be there for you truth is none of them really even care for you so you better be lucky...
