The final attempt to write a pop song (which was accepted by my sister)

lyrics

It's something you can't buy
Something you can't win easily
It's something you can miss
Even though you see it all around
Some say it's a game
That can be fatal to lose
Now don't be fooled
You must abide by the rules

It either happens on its own, or it's never gonna happen
You can take it when it's offered but the offer will not last
And you can try to trick the system and you might get pretty far
But if there's one thing that is certain it's that you're not in control at all

It's something you can fake
Something anyone can imitate
It's something you can spoil
But that is worse than nothing at all
So make up your mind
Do you want the truth or a lie?

It either happens on its own, or it's never gonna happen
You can take it when it's offered but the offer will not last
And you can try to trick the system and you might get pretty far
But if there's one thing that is certain it's that you're not in control at all

You must realise
You must realise
You're not in control

It either happens on its own, or it's never gonna happen
You can take it when it's offered but the offer will not last
And you can try to trick the system and you might get pretty far
But if there's one thing that is certain it's that you're not in control at all
