about

For people who live unexamined lives, the world just happens, happening as it does beyond their will or ability to act upon it. Because, to them, there are always external forces - perhaps God, perhaps chance, perhaps circumstance - that they believe are outside their ability to understand and control. In most cases, they get away with so much because they think so little. But if they began a process of self-evaluation and -examination, they may come discover that there is much they can do. Or, at the very least, they can stop deflecting blame for the terrible things they do. Coming to this place of discovery requires much work - more work than most people want to invest in. But the ultimate reward can be great, not only for the people who awaken to their lives, but also to the people in their orbit. One just needs to start. But the question remains: How to begin?

lyrics

You're good, I'm bad
Yes that's been made abundantly clear
You're smart, I'm dumb
You live a life without fear
You're rich, I'm poor
I will never own a house on a hill
You're happy, I'm so sad
Wish you'd lend me some of your goodwill
But you don't give a care
Must be nice to breathe the air up there

OK, you win
I give up, I give in
OK, you win
You win
Nothing off my skin
You win
Yeah, you win

Your car goes fast
While mine sits in a ditch
You got no beefs
While all I ever do is bitch
You believe
You're blessed
And it appears that you are
I believe
I'm cursed
I never had myself a lucky star
Some people have all the luck
While others have lives that suck

If you want to be just like me
It's as easy as one, two, three
You must change all that you have been
Then maybe one day you too might win

OK, I win
Won't give up
Won't give in
OK, I win
I win
I have changed my skin
I win
Yeah, I win
