Lightning Lyrics
Hey, what's all the fuss about?
They say lightning— they say lightning
Lightning never strikes twice in a row
Generations, generations
First, they fight and then they forget
What they were fighting about in the first place
Here it comes, the big explosion
Haven't I seen that once before?
Or is it just some déjà vu?
Just some long forgotten dream
Just some silly memory
History does not repeat; it never, never does
Hey, what's all the fuss about?
I should know
I've been hit three times (or was it four?)
I'm a walking testimony
Come here; look at these holes
I'm a walking testimony
Just look at these holes, look at these holes!
Generations, generations
Fathers never teach their sons
And Grandpa never talked to them, and so on
Memories are inconvenient
When there's lessons to be learned
That just might rock the boat too much
Cause anxiety and such
We cannot walk without our crutches
We cannot walk, we cannot walk; we never, never could
Hey, what's all the fuss about?
I should know
I've been hit three times (or was it four?)
I'm a walking testimony
Come here; look at these holes
I'm a walking testimony
Just look at these holes, look at these holes!
Hey, what's all the fuss about?
They say lightning— They say lightning
Lightning never strikes twice in a row
Lightning never strikes twice in a row
First, they fight and then they forget
What they were fighting about in the first place
Haven't I seen that once before?
Or is it just some déjà vu?
Just some long forgotten dream
Just some silly memory
History does not repeat; it never, never does
I've been hit three times (or was it four?)
I'm a walking testimony
Come here; look at these holes
I'm a walking testimony
Just look at these holes, look at these holes!
Fathers never teach their sons
And Grandpa never talked to them, and so on
When there's lessons to be learned
That just might rock the boat too much
Cause anxiety and such
We cannot walk without our crutches
We cannot walk, we cannot walk; we never, never could
I've been hit three times (or was it four?)
I'm a walking testimony
Come here; look at these holes
I'm a walking testimony
Just look at these holes, look at these holes!
They say lightning— They say lightning
Lightning never strikes twice in a row

A rather cynical tune about how people tend to think that they can do something over and over again and not have any problems develop. This could also be an allusion to Roy Sullivan, a national park ranger that was struck by lightning seven times and live, only to die in 1983.
