Lyrics

All the stars are aligned against me
And my fortune's been cast

Are you sure that it's cosmic forces
Haunting your past?

I can't think of an explanation
Why I been dealt this bad hand

I believe you cuz I can see that
You really can't

Every contest I lose the coin toss
Tell me what are the odds?

And you're sure now that every outcome
Is in the lap of the gods?

Can't imagine interpretations
Why I been dealt this bad hand

I believe you cuz I can see that
You really can't

Maybe there's answers I've been missing
Better than useless reminiscing
If there's a view from your position
Tell me; I'll listen

I just can't catch a break, can I?
Perfect streak of bad luck

Circumstances beyond your power
Make you feel like you're stuck?

I can't conceive of a justification
Why I been dealt this bad hand

I believe you cuz I can see that
You really can't

Maybe there's answers I've been missing
Better than useless reminiscing

If there's a view from your position
Tell me; I'll listen

So much in life you can't control
How will you get where you need to go?

Can't sail your boat into the wind
So you finesse it indirect
Make it take you where it pushed against

Every possible bad thing happens
I think the universe hates me

You make it sound like its all up to fate
And you have no agency

I can't but think it's an aberration
Why I been dealt this bad hand

I believe you cuz I can see that
You really can't

Maybe there's answers I've been missing
Better than useless reminiscing
If there's a view from your position
Tell me; I'll listen

Tell me; I'll listen

Tell me; I'll listen
