Hey there! You’ve been trouble since the day you were born
It’s a struggle to just get through the day
Without losing your way
You’re so damn close, yet you’re so far away
Hey there! Have you had enough bad news for one day?
Well, I’ve got more
Yes, I’ve got something to say
And it won’t go away
Little did you know you’ve got a big role to play

Give me the chance to do my best now
In all the world the artist sings the same song
He sings the same song
Give me the chance to do my best now
In all the world the artist sings the same song
He sings the same song

Clear the floor, get out of the way
I’ve got a song and I’ve got something to say
And it’s not like I have a choice
I was born with a voice
It took me some time to get myself here
Now that it’s here, let’s kick it in gear
Give me the chance to do my best now
In all the world the artist sings the same song
He sings the same song

Hey there! This song will never change the world
Or even help me catch a girl
Even a Burley bargirl has got
Better things to do than watch my freak flag unfurl
Hey there! I’ve gone too far to turn back now
Once I made it by the sweat of my brow
And a little know-how
But my brow’s too high to be of use to me now
Give me the chance to do my best now
In all the world the artist sings the same song
He sings the same song
Give me the chance to do my best now
In all the world the artist sings the same song
He sings the same song
He sings the same song
He sings the same song
He sings the same song

I’m here today on behalf of a friend
Me and the muse we’re together again
We never know just where it will end
My little shadow, my fair-weather friend
It’s like a dream you never want it to end
We’re always starting all over again
Thank god it all works out in the end
