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
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
