Play by the cards you're given
Don't complain at all
Thank your mom and dad that you're living

And then hate them when you fall

And then hate them when you fall...


Don't break the rules, be a legal kid
So your mom will be proud

Or raise yourself into something else
And make sure to win the fight!


[Pre-Chorus]
People tell you that you're special
Are you willing to believe?

People tell you how they love you
Are you willing to receive?


[Chorus]
There must be a dream
To take you up when you're down

There must be some way
There must be a sign


There must a point
When what's bad turns out good
There must be meaning

Even though it seems it never cooooooouuuuuld!

Verse 2:

Play by the cards your given
Now behave and take control
Act just like you've always done

Allthough nothing's like before

Nothing's like before...


You can be whoever you want to be
But it's up to you to choose

Remember what life's about
It's 'bout anything but lose


Pre-Chorus, Chorus.
