You've Got A Chance
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A rhapsody! Contestants in disguise
A nation of desire but who will win the prize?
The people stand united, reluctantly aligned
Copyin' and lyin' are the favorite pastime
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
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
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?
Despite circumstance you've got a chance
You've got a chance to confront the world today
You've got a chance now exceeds so far away
Don't you believe what the wise men have to say
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
You've got a chance
Oh, sing it
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
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
Oh, one more time
Oh oh oh oh
