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
