"Longshot" lyrics

Did your number come in on a longshot?
Did you bet big and sweep the pot?
Did you walk away with the glory?
Did you stand up and take your shot?

Have you seen, have you seen
Have you seen the man give of his time?
Have you seen, have you seen
Have you seen the man work for a dime?

Have you ever dreamed so big it seems
There's no chance the dream will come true?
About a wish beyond your grasp
You're all but guaranteed to lose
But sometimes fate's a funny gal
So keep your eyes peeled for the signs
Keep the faith and keep on dreaming
'Cause there might just be a time

Have you seen, have you seen
Have you seen the man give of his time?
Have you seen, have you seen
Have you seen the man work for a dime?

Did your number come in on a longshot
Did you bet big and sweep the pot?
Did you walk away with the glory?
Did you stand up and take your shot?
Did karma do you justice when you're down and out and lost?
Did the shamrock on your shoulder bring good fortune and pay off?

'Cause people like you and I
We're never meant to achieve our dreams
We're conditioned to settle for something
Something much less than it seems
So be careful what you wish for
'Cause some dreams aren't meant to come true
Or the dreams you thought you wanted and needed
Are custom fit for a fool

Have you seen, have you seen
Have you seen the man give of his time?
Have you seen, have you seen
Have you seen the man work for a dime?

Did your number come in on a longshot?
Did you bet big and sweep the pot?
Did you walk away with the glory?
Did you stand up and take your shot?
Did karma do you justice when you're down and out and lost?
Did the shamrock on your shoulder bring good fortune and pay off?

(Have you seen, have you seen)
(Have you seen, have you seen)

They said it was all just a pipe dream
"You'll never make nothing out of yourself"
Been that same look on all of your faces
As you laugh me out of the room (Haha)
Is changing the hand that you're dealt
Even something any of us can achieve?
When you sit back and rest on your laurels
You steal the chances, you gotta believe

But people like you and I
We're never meant to achieve our dreams
We're conditioned to settle for something
Something much less than it seems
So be careful what you wish for
'Cause some dreams aren't meant to come true
Or the dreams you thought you wanted and needed
Are custom fit for a fool

Did your number come in on a longshot?
Did you bet big and sweep the pot?
Did you walk away with the glory?
Did you stand up and take your shot?
Did karma do you justice when you're down and out and lost?
Did the shamrock on your shoulder bring good fortune and pay off?
Did your number come in on a longshot?
Did you bet big and sweep the pot?
Did you walk away with the glory?
Did you stand up and take your shot?
Did karma do you justice when you're down and out and lost?
Did the shamrock on your shoulder bring good fortune and pay off?
