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.

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.

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.

I'm tired of all this
Shakespearean misinformation,
I want to win the game.

Oh, yeah!

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 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.

You've got a chance,
you've got a chance,
you've got a chance
you've got a chance.
