Never Tell Me the Odds!

Ooh

Sometimes we go where we do not belong

Sometimes we cross over lines that were drawn

Causing us feelings of sudden alarm

Everything fades when we don't play along

Never quote a man the odds

We've seen through the lies of gods

Witnessed miracles and shocks

Lived our lives the way we want

I don't need the money, I just want the stuff

I don't need the honey, I'd rather be buzzed

I can't take this freedom, I'm giving it up

Give me my space or we'll soon both be stuck

Never quote a man the odds

We've seen through the lies of gods

Witnessed miracles and shocks

Lived our lives the way we want

Each time we read them aloud from a book

Words give us wisdom that's hard to be shook

But that doesn't mean we're required to look

At the law of the land like an unchanging brook

Never quote a man the odds

We've seen through the lies of gods

Witnessed miracles and shocks

Lived our lives the way we want

I'll do what I want when I want how I want

All the rock and the roll and the sex and the drugs

All the things the establishment tells me to shun

Which percentages say are more harmful than fun

Never quote a man the odds

We've seen through the lies of gods

Witnessed miracles and shocks

Lived our lives the way we want
