B.S or THE LUCKY, THE STRONG, THE FITTEST (THE CHANCE SONG) written by Sheldon Manoo (1995)

PLEASE NOTE THAT ANYONE CAN USE THESE LYRICS FREE OF CHARGE, ALL WE ASK IS TO CREDIT THE BLOG AND PLEASE IF POSSIBLE MAKE A DONATION!

Do you believe in destiny?

Do you believe in anything?

Ain;t it all a comedy?

Why do I have to sing?

Can you answer a trick question?

Do you know if you speak the truth?

Will you make one suggestion?

Why do business people wear suit?

Am I going off on a tangent?

Am I being a bit too facetious?

If I enter a beauty pageant,

Will the beauty inside help me out?

 

            I don’t know what I’m saying

            I don’t know what I mean here

            I don’t know why I keep writing

            I don’t know why I even care

            I feel myself in another situation

            That I been through before and got over

But if I use the same combination

            All it does is get tougher

 

They say that love is for the lucky

And success is for the strong

Survival is for the fittest

I think they’re all wrong

It’s just a game of chance that’s played over and over

That’s just one suggestion I have to offer

They say that if you work hard you’re gonna get the benefits

But my old man worked thirty jobs and still he’s down in a pit

I don’t think they really mean what they say

They always say they meant it in a different way

 

            Now if the sperm I’m from came from royalty

            I wouldn’t be writing today I wouldn’t be me

            It’s like God plays a game of Russian roulette

            Some people just don’t get blown away

 

SOLO

 

So it’s not what they say and it’s not what they teach

No it’s not what they do and just not what they preach

It’s just a matter of co-incidence

Just a matter of circumstance

It’s just the people that you know

And just the places that you go

Cause any generalized term you can think of

There’s always examples to prove you wrong

To me it’s chances you get, choices you make

Not the lucky, not the fittest, not the strong,

Not all the time!

I’m a lot better than the boss’s relative

But who do you think he’s gonna give

That promotion!

And I’ve been  here longer too!
