You`ve Got A Chance — текст песни (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

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?
(don`t you believe what the wise men have to say)
Despite circumstance
You`ve got a chance
