Album: Run It Up the Flagpole

Way back in high school,
he was a big fat mess
that couldn't pass a joint enough
to pass a piss test
We never knew he was twice as smart as the rest of us
Well he must've done something right,
twenty-one with a house and hit on top forty

When your world changes upside down,
wait your turn because karma comes around
Think of all that you've got
So find the power you have within,
and live up to the life you're livin' in
Hey, but take the longshot

Well, as a freshmen,
nobody looked her way
She walked the hall for years
but no one even knew her name
A legal pad and a ballpoint pen were her only friends
Well, she must've done something right
Saw her face on TV selling her success story

When your world changes upside down,
wait your turn because karma comes around
Think of all that you've got
So find the power you have within,
and live up to the life you're livin' in
Hey, but take the longshot

You never know what you're gonna get, do ya?
No way to tell if you'll ever rise to the top
You'll never know if you never try, will ya?
So get up, and show 'em all what you got

When your world changes upside down,
wait your turn 'cause karma comes around
Think of all that you've got
So find the power you have within
and live up to the life you're livin' in
Hey, but take the longshot
