You've Got A Chance

Bad Religion

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
