Lyric You ve Got A Chance

a rhapsody!
contestants in disguise
a nation of desire
but who will win the prize?
the people stand united,
reluctantly aligned
copying and lying
are the favorite past-time
you ve got a chance
to confront the world today
desperate romance
is the curse of castaways
what good is skill
if you don t make it to the dance?
despite circumstance
you ve got a chance
common life, depicted on afternoon tv,
is spiked to give the
miserable a vogue identity
hate your neighbors,
cheat your friends,
they don t discriminate
popularity and fame don t care
if you re a reprobate
I m tired of all this
shakespearean misinformation
I want to win the game
you ve got the right intentions
but who s got time to think?
you ve got a noon appointment,
you ve got to hit the links
you re talking in the stratosphere,
you re curled up on the floor
with such a wealth of information,
why are you so poor?
you ve got a chance
to be relevant today
desperate romance
is the curse of castaways
what good is skill
if you don t make it to the dance?
(don t you believe what the
wise men have to say)
despite circumstance
you ve got a chance
