Life Is a Chance
I love the sound of rescue squad sirens
Someones got a chance
Houdini had no chance
He wanted to survive everything
Kennedy had no chance
He wanted what's best for people
Communism had no chance
Someone had to be in charge
And we all know by now
Power corrupts
Capitalism has no chance
People want more
Top to bottom
Squabbling gets ugly
Philanthropy has no chance
(see above)
Give it away
But not too much
I have a chance
I want to save the world
From what?
I'm not sure
To what?
I don't know
Or maybe I do
Uncertainty is key
