Lyrics

Don’t believe the crystal ball

Some people just live in the past, others waiting for the dawn
Some people live in the here and now, some are waiting to be born
Some people look over their shoulder, others look far ahead
Some people make the most of every day, some just wait to be fed
So don’t believe the crystal ball, the roulette wheel is fixed
You’re in charge, you can make the future
 
Some people just might have been, others intend to arrive
Some people just wonder what comes next, some just glad to be alive
Some people exaggerate, give the truth a little spin
Some are far too honest, they don’t always win
So don’t believe the crystal ball, the roulette wheel is fixed
You’re in charge, you can make the future
 
Some people are born leaders, some will follow behind
Some people need persuasion, many people you’ll find
Some people, may not know why, just get taken for granted
When someone else points it out, seeds of revolt get planted
 
All the people, all of the time, apparently can’t be fooled
Some of the people, some of the time, they’re the ones that get ruled
None of the people that I’ve met have really known it all
Those that are convinced they do, pride comes before a fall
 
So keep on being curious, ask questions when you can
And if you think you know all the answers, you’re the foolish man
So don’t believe the crystal ball, the roulette wheel is fixed
You’re in charge, you can make the future
