Lyrics The Leisure Society

The Leisure Society

If God Did Give Me A Chance

The wolf at the door he came knocking again

He told me that I was no good

He left me bereft of a hopeful concept

He lapped up the pieces and ran

A friend he once said I've turned into my dad

I found such a comfortable spot

The dreams I once had are all faded and black

He said his goodbyes and was gone

If God did give me a choice

I would take it

I would take it

If God did give me choice

I would take it

I would take it

The years they have passed with such sickening speed

The goalposts moved time and again

Suppressing defeat, reinventing belief

A casualty fit to move on

The altruist motive so badly conceived

So lacking that cold ruthless streak

To get on in life you must fight to survive

To be heard you have to be seen

If God did give me a choice

I would take it

I would take it

If God did give me choice

I would take it

I would take it

If God did give us a choice

We would take it

We would take it

If God did give us a choice

We would take it

We would take it

If God did give us a choice

We would take it

We would take it

If God did give us a choice

We would take it

We would take it

If God did give us a choice

We would take it

We would take it

If God did give us a choice

We would take it

We would take it
