[Verse 1]
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 passtime

[Chorus]
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
You've got a chance

[Verse 2]
Common life depicted on afternoon TV
It's 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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
I'm tired of all this Shakespearean misinformation
I want to win the game
Oh yeah
[Verse 3]
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?

[Chorus]
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?
Despite circumstance, you've got a chance
You've got a chance to confront the world today
You've got a chance, though it seems so far away
Don't you believe what the wise men have to say
Despite circumstance, you've got a chance

[Outro]
You've got a chance
You've got a chance
(You've got a chance)
You've got a chance
(You've got a chance)
Oh-oh, sing it
Oh whoa-oh-oh oh
Oh whoa-oh-oh oh
Oh whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh
Oh whoa-oh-oh oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh oh
Oh-whoa oh-oh oh-oh-oh
Oh whoa-oh-oh, oh whoa-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh
You've got a chance
You've got a chance
(You've got a chance)
You've got a chance
(You've got a chance)
Oh-oh, one more time
Oh oh-oh ho oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh
