Words alone won't say

What you want them to

Words are just the shapes

That let the feeling through

So accept your fate

Or change it if you will

Choices will determine

The total of your bill

You can take control

You can make demands

And wait for all the laughter

At your careful plans

You will get nothing out
F C G
If you don't put something in

Gamble every day

Or the bitterness wins

Words are just the shapes

On the way to finding out

If whatever's there is true
