You've got a chance

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
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
