Wheels of Fortune
Unveiling Life's Fickle Game
Lyrics
Caught up in wheels of fortune while you've been asleep
Caught in the unpredictable course of fate while unaware
Come on, give it up, you got what's comin' to you
Accept the consequences, facing what's rightfully due
No use for you to struggle, now you're in too deep
No need to resist, now deeply involved and struggling won't help
It's gonna be a long, long time before it's through
A prolonged period awaits before resolution is achieved
Changin' wheels of fortune
Shifting, unpredictable turns of fate
Drivin' us on and on
Continuously propelling us forward
Winnin', sometimes losin'
Winning at times, losing at others
As soon as it's here it's gone
Ephemeral, as soon as it arrives, it disappears
I'm so tired of losin'
Expressing weariness from continuous losses
But I still play the game
Despite fatigue, still participating in the pursuit
And I know there's no reason
Acknowledging the lack of a rational explanation
Still I go on searchin' just the same
Continuing the search for meaning nonetheless
Well, I've kicked around your city
Having explored various aspects of your environment
Seen your vanity
Witnessed your self-indulgence and conceit
Mister Society, can you hear me
Addressing societal figures, seeking acknowledgment
You get your satisfaction and you cover all the action
Fulfilling desires and engaging in all activities
But your loaded dice won't help you in the end
Cautioning that manipulations won't ensure success in the end
Changin' wheels of fortune
Continued shifts in the unpredictable course of fate
Drivin' us on and on
Driving us persistently forward
Winnin', sometimes losin'
Experiencing victories and defeats
As soon as it's here it's gone
Transient, fleeting moments of existence
I'm so tired of losin'
Expressing fatigue from repeated losses
But I still play the game
Continuing participation in the uncertain game
And I know there's no reason
Acknowledging the absence of a clear rationale
Still I go on searchin' just the same
Persisting in the quest for meaning despite uncertainties
