The Winners' Ball

(album: Hooba Dooba - 2010)

If you wannit to happen, you gotta turn up on time
Call out your number n'en stand in line
I know you can do it but that's nothing at all
You gotta earn your invite to the winners' ball

Brother, I hear you hurting, stumbling roun' an roun'
Face like the whole world built on doing you down
Yeah! You a thing of beauty, smarter than all us rest
Still every boy here gotta take same simple test

If you wannit to happen, you gotta turn up on time
Call out your number n'en stand in line
I know you can do it but that's nothing at all
You gotta earn your invite to the winners' ball

You got the animal angle, you got the monster move
People, they eyes light up when you hit the groove
Tol' you that mean nothing, nobody owes you squat
It's getting past time for you to know where it's at

Don't matter that you be special
Don't matter if the earth she move
Everybody be legends in their dreamtime
But in the meantime

If you wannit to happen, you gotta turn up on time
Call out your number n'en stand in line
I know you can do it but that's nothing at all
You gotta earn your invite to the winners' ball
