Cards We're Dealt - David Brent

When the chips are down, you could accept your loss.

Or what happens if you

throw those chips in the dealers face

Scoop up the rest of the chips, and make the hell out

Tired of this minimum wage

Tired of this cage

Tired of not being on a stage

Tired of no one reading what I’m writing on the page

Tired of hanging with guys twice my age

Tired of this rat race, and that chase

Dreams that only seem to, blow up in my face

Well, what the use of dreams

To a human being

If they always prove unseen

If I am who I think I am

Then I’ve got to transform, be a better man

And If you are who you think you are

You should be above the clouds, you should be a star

Through what I see I’m sure it’s hard

Can we be more than the cards we’re dealt

Yeah, maybe this is just a start

Why can’t we change the cards we’re dealt

Well it’s more real than anything I ever felt

I’m feeling like an irrelevance

I want to soar with eagles, not waddle with pelicans

Okay, true, they’re birds of prey too

But not the cool ones, you want associated with you

Still I wouldn’t mind the wingspan

I could fly away from always being every bodies wingman

I’ve got big plans, big, big plans

Can’t give you details, but they’re big man

I’m proper different, you got to listen

I want to live in where I’ve got a bit more than a pot to piss in

I just want to prove, I can kick it off soon

My time is overdue, like a synagogue roof

If I am who I think I am

Then I’ve got to transform be a better man

And If you are who you think you are

You should be above the clouds, you should be a star

Through what I see I’m sure it’s hard

Can we be more than the cards we’re dealt

Yeah, maybe this is just a start

Why can’t we change the cards we’re dealt

Well it’s more real than anything I ever felt

Name your fate, the games so hard

Ain’t too late to change those cards

Saying, name your fate, the games so hard

Ain’t too late to change those cards

Come on, I said name your fate, the games so hard

Ain’t too late to change those cards

Nana na nanananana na na

Nana na nanananana na na

Well it’s more real than anything I ever felt
