Taking My Chances
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.
You know me, I know you
You got a plan yea
What else is new?
You got your money
High intellect
But just remember
That you can’t buy respect
They say that I’m just
Another burnout
And I’m wasted time
Keep barking orders
Scream and shout
I’m gonna let you know
I’m taking my chances
I can’t go no further down
I live in the mansion
Of the lost and found
I wanna feel alive
Why can’t I… just burn
This whole thing down
I’m taking my chances
All for I, all for I
I’ve been high, I’ve been low
Got every reason
To let you go
You got degrees
I’ve got the streets
Ain’t no body
Who can rescue me
They want my back
Against the wall
But I’m leaving dust
I don’t believe in them at all
I’m taking my chances
I can’t go no further down
I live in the mansion
Of the lost and found
I wanna feel alive
Why can’t I… just burn
This whole thing down
I’m taking my chances
All for I, all for I
