We don't get to pick and choose
loneliness for a chance in joy's shoes
We all win and loose
We all see yellow and blue
We all cry from time to time
like we shelter demons in mind
We all want a piece from cloud nine
We all piece our hearts til it's fine
Love and hate, we get both
life lived under oath
kept us lonely and in loath
animosity found in homes
deprive a child nifty growth
We don't get to pick and choose
our eyes see the bad and good news
raggedy rags or chimmy choos
either way, we don't get to choose
