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
[ref]
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 stratospher
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
Despite circumstance
You've got a chance
