What Can Go Wrong Will Go Wrong

Like a wheel of fortune
Life keeps spinning 'round and 'round
Skipping chances and big wins
A lucky strike is not allowed

You might try hard to survive
To be the best and beat the rest
But in the end you'll feel the knife
Fortuna stuck right through your chest

The plans you made for future's sake
Vanish when you picture them
Overthrow the risks to make
Life as sweet as fiction can

Is there any way to know
Which way to bliss you have to go? 
So you might win this dead-end fight
And make the wrong things turn out right

What can go wrong will surely do
But if you spin the wheel once more
You'll find what can work out will too
And now you should try and challenge life and get the things you're looking for
