We all get a moment where the stars align
The universe gives us a verse in the song of time
The spotlight swings our way and it's our time to shine
We're handed a mic on the stage of life, time to rhyme
But what happens if you choked and you didn't catch your break?
If you fail, do you bail with your tail between your legs?
What about those of us who missed our shot, didn't rise to the top
Never became the cream and we just remained the crop?
I've heard it said before that we get one shot in life
And even though that may be true, it's not exactly right
'Cause here's a secret: even though we get one shot in life
We all get that one shot, twice
We all get one shot twice
We all get one shot twice
In other words, we get two shots in life
That's right, we all get one shot twice
The way you're saying it's confusing but I think I understand
Everybody gets one shot times a second chance?
Exactly, somehow I didn't make it with my ska band
Apparently pop punk with brass doesn't win you fans
So do I hang up my suspenders, pork pie, and trombone?
Be content installing AV equipment in people's homes?
Hell no! Because life's gonna throws you two bones
That's right, we get to kill one bird with two stones!
Eric Stoltz couldn't go back in time and get rehired
As Marty in Back to the Future after he was fired
But then he got a cool supporting role in Pulp Fiction
And now he's a sought-after director of television!
We all get one shot twice
We all get one shot twice
In other words, we get two shots in life
That's right, we all get one shot twice
Two shots! To launch a second career
Two shots! Like my uncle Amir
Two shots! He was a lawyer now he's kickstarting a microbrew
'Cause you don't get one shot, you get two!
I fell in love with Zoรซ in Mr. Shapiro's class
Chemistry partners whose chemistry was unmatched
Maybe with the exception of hydrogen and oxygen (water!)
I never made a move then so she walked to the alter
With another dude, and I got so depressed
I fell apart like west wing after Sorkin left
I was filled with regret, but if this song is correct
I missed my one shot at love, but I got one shot left
And now it's time for my verse, tonight for me is gonna beโ
If you're first movie bombs, make a better sequel
You fail the bar exam, become a paralegal
Your first band the Quarrymen doesn't move the needle?
Form a second band and call it the fucking Beatles!!
We all get one shot twice
We all get one shot twice
In other words we get two shots in life
That's right we all get one shot twice
Two shots!
We all get one shot twice
We all get one shot twice
In other words we get two shots in life
That's right we all get one shot twice
Two shots!
