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
