Way back in high school He was a big fat mess That couldn't pa** a joint enough To pa** a piss test We never knew he was twice as smart as the rest of us Well he must've done something right Twenty-one with a house and hit on top forty When your world changes upside down Wait your turn because karma comes around Think of all that you've got So find the power you have within And live up to the life you're livin' in Hey, but take the longshot Well, as a freshmen Nobody looked her way She walked the hall for years But no one even knew her name A legal pad and a ballpoint pen were her only friends Well, she must've done something right Saw her face on TV selling her success story When your world changes upside down Wait your turn because karma comes around Think of all that you've got So find the power you have within And live up to the life you're livin' in Hey, but take the longshot You never know what you're gonna get, do ya? No way to tell if you'll ever rise to the top You'll never know if you never try, will ya? So get up, and show 'em all what you got When your world changes upside down Wait your turn 'cause karma comes around Think of all that you've got So find the power you have within And live up to the life you're livin' in Hey, but take the longshot
