Opportunity Knockin'
Overture
Opportunity, such a scandalous tease
Promise you the world
Then brings you to your knees
A tantalizing mistress
Impossible to please
You want to hold her but she
Drifts away on the breeze
Verse
It looked like an easy score
To get me in the door
No sweat, just do it
I let some time go by
'til I got around to high and dry
That's how I blew it
Didn't seize the day
Or what came my way
I never used it
Wouldn't a taken too much time
But I failed to drop a dime
I refused it
Yeah I abused it
Chorus
Grab your chances don't give up
That's opportunity knockin'
Take the risk, call your shot
You can get the house a rockin'
Opportunity don't come by here
Each and every day
Recognize it, claim your prize
Don't (ever) let it slip away
Vs
Should've felt the heat and
Got up off my seat
I could've scored it
Instead I kicked back and
Didn't keep track
In fact I ignored it
Next chance came along
Didn't dare to do it wrong
So I took it
I learned from the past
Opportunities never last
Hey man, ya gotta book it
[Ch]
Outro
Give it all you got
Or you gonna pay
If you want to make it happen
Better do it today
Don't be a fool
Don't be a s ucka

Maladjusted
Vs
What are you thinkin' about
You got a look on your face
Crazy goin' through your mind
Are you feelin' out of place
It's a cryin' shame
We can't bring it together
Lookin' for sunshine
It's always heavy weather
Prognosis (Forecast )
Chorus
Maladjusted
Maladjusted
Maladjusted
Vs
Somethin's feelin' wrong
It's all out of whack
We should be cruisin' along
But we're way off the track
What's really goin' on?
We're f ussin' at each other
Never on the same page
We're not actin' like brothers
'cause we're
[Ch]
(Breakdown)
Vs
We really need to change
How we only disagree
Whatever happened
To I respect you respect me
Every day's an argument
We're locked in our view
Never ending conflict
Can't figure what to do
We're just
[Ch]
