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

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

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?

(don't you believe what the

wise men have to say)

despite circumstance

you've got a chance
