the odds

a man of great ambition he pushed himself to

a man upon a mission with great riches to achieve

all his friends admired him

and every word they trusted and believed. and the odds seem forever in his favour. he made a sound investment in his own abilities

a healthy clientele and some committed employees

well regarded in the town

money to be made

and cash be found. and the odds seem forever in his favour. sooner or later the man is bound to fall!

won't find

sooner or later empires are bound to fall!

the wind blows forever without waver

but the odds were not endeavored

forever in your favour!

he bought a grander house on a more expensive street

quite a price to pay for a place to rest his feet

felt the water rise before he knew it wasn't all

still he thought he had the odds in his favour. we hate to disappoint you

the banker didn't yield

the string of repossessions

his wife's expensive heels

but sitting down upon the kerb he felt a certain feeling of relief

and he knew the odds were far from in his favour. sooner or later the man is bound to fall!

won't find

sooner or later it's the end of the road!

does the wind don't blow forever without waver

but the odds were not endeavored

forever in your favour!

you're expensive pockets are empty and you're feeling insecure

i think you may resent it

and in fact

i'm pretty sure

is being wealthy really all that far from being poor

i'm not so sure!

and the odds are not forever in your favour!
