Lyrics Cards We're Dealt - David Brent

Cards We're Dealt

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
