Biggest Joke

[Verse 1]
Opportunities are open ahead of you
Your future's what you want it to be
When you're down and broke, it's the biggest joke
It wouldn't matter if you'd leave it to me now

[Verse 2]
Down the road that's open ahead of you
You've got ideas of your own
Don't expect the most from the second post
'Cause it's too far from home now

[Verse 3]
School and college are a top priority
If you're not lagging behind
But there's a friend in town and he'll hold you down
And he's an old friend of mine now

[Verse 4]
Colleagues looming to the left and the right of you
You're under pressure to lose
He'll force you in with a goal to win
And this prize has its use now

[Bridge]
Stand back now and leave me alone
Better things to do with my time
I could be right, you could be wrong, but how will I know?
You won't even let me give it a try

[Verse 1]
Opportunities are open ahead of you
Your future's what you want it to be
When you're down and broke it's the biggest joke
It wouldn't matter if you'd leave it to me now

[Verse 2]
Down the road that's opened ahead of you
You've got ideas of your own
Don't expect the most from the second post
'Cause it's too close to home now
