The opening track to Bad Religion’s 2000 album ‘The New America’, this song tells the listener that they do not have to accept complacency, despair, apathy, or the default status quo that most people live under.
The future you will live is up to you. You can make a difference, you can chase love a...
[Verse 1]
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 passtime
[Chorus]
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
You've got a chance
[Verse 2]
Common life depicted on afternoon TV
It's 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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
I'm tired of all this Shakespearean misinformation
I want to win the game
Oh yeah
[Verse 3]
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?
[Chorus]
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?
Despite circumstance, you've got a chance
You've got a chance to confront the world today
You've got a chance, though it seems so far away
Don't you believe what the wise men have to say
Despite circumstance, you've got a chance
[Outro]
You've got a chance
You've got a chance
(You've got a chance)
You've got a chance
(You've got a chance)
Oh-oh, sing it
Oh whoa-oh-oh oh
Oh whoa-oh-oh oh
Oh whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh
Oh whoa-oh-oh oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh oh
Oh-whoa oh-oh oh-oh-oh
Oh whoa-oh-oh, oh whoa-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh
You've got a chance
You've got a chance
(You've got a chance)
You've got a chance
(You've got a chance)
Oh-oh, one more time
Oh oh-oh ho oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh
