[Verse 1]
They called you on the phone
You left your wallet in their car
They were an hour down the road
It was a little too far
They said they'd mail it overnight
You said that ought to be okay
It shouldn't be too bad without a wallet for a day

[Chorus 1]
It should have been easy, but this is you
One of the world's unlucky few
Who hits all the red lights just right all night
It should have been easy, this is true
Oh, but this is you
Unlucky you

[Verse 2]
Three days and nothing came
And you were running out of food
You talked to someone at the bank
But there was nothing they would do
They said they'd need your driver's licensе
Or you couldn't get your cash
So dinner was a plate of McDonald's kеtchup packs
[Chorus 2]
It should have been easy, but this is you
One of the world's unlucky few
Who chooses the aisle 9 slow line each time
It should have been easy, this is true
Oh, but this is you
Unlucky you

[Bridge]
And finally one day there was a notice at your door
Said, come pick up your package, but the office closed at four
On the other side of town, you were running out of gas
But you bolt into your car in a whirl of ketchup packs

[Verse 3]
You made it just in time
"Is there a package here for me?"
They said they're happy to oblige
When they see some ID

[Chorus 3]
It should have been easy, but this is you
One of the world's unlucky few
You're staring down the barrel of a catch 22
It should have been easy, this is true
Oh, but this is you
Unlucky you
