Two Shots by Ben Schwartz

Two Shots Lyrics

[00:00.26] We all get a moment where the stars align
[00:02.78] The universe gives us a verse in the song of time
[00:05.57] The spotlight swings our way and it's our time to shine
[00:08.13] We're handed a mic on the stage of life, time to rhyme
[00:11.12] But what happens if you choked and you didn't catch your break?
[00:13.87] If you fail, do you bail with your tail between your legs?
[00:16.36] What about those of us who missed our shot, didn't rise to the top
[00:19.45] Never became the cream and we just remained the crop?
[00:21.86] I've heard it said before that we get one shot in life
[00:24.31] And even though that may be true, it's not exactly right
[00:27.16] 'Cause here's a secret: even though we get one shot in life
[00:29.88] We all get that one shot, twice
[00:32.56] We all get one shot twice
[00:34.95] We all get one shot twice
[00:37.73] In other words, we get two shots in life
[00:40.15] That's right, we all get one shot twice
[00:42.90] The way you're saying it's confusing but I think I understand
[00:45.88] Everybody gets one shot times a second chance?
[00:48.54] Exactly, somehow I didn't make it with my ska band
[00:51.19] Apparently pop punk with brass doesn't win you fans
[00:53.73] So do I hang up my suspenders, pork pie, and trombone?
[00:56.48] Be content installing AV equipment in people's homes?
[00:59.01] Hell no! Because life's gonna throws you two bones
[01:01.96] That's right, we get to kill one bird with two stones!
[01:04.35] Eric Stoltz couldn't go back in time and get rehired
[01:06.96] As Marty in Back to the Future after he was fired
[01:09.92] But then he got a cool supporting role in Pulp Fiction
[01:12.75] And now he's a sought-after director of television!
[01:15.43] We all get one shot twice
[01:17.92] We all get one shot twice
[01:20.34] In other words, we get two shots in life
[01:23.00] That's right, we all get one shot twice
[01:25.70] Two shots! To launch a second career
[01:28.31] Two shots! Like my uncle Amir
[01:31.12] Two shots! He was a lawyer now he's kickstarting a microbrew
[01:33.73] 'Cause you don't get one shot, you get two!
[01:36.39] I fell in love with Zoë in Mr. Shapiro's class
[01:38.88] Chemistry partners whose chemistry was unmatched
[01:41.77] Maybe with the exception of hydrogen and oxygen (water!)
[01:44.65] I never made a move then so she walked to the alter
[01:47.40] With another dude, and I got so depressed
[01:49.73] I fell apart like west wing after Sorkin left
[01:52.44] I was filled with regret, but if this song is correct
[01:55.06] I missed my one shot at love, but I got one shot left
[01:57.89] And now it's time for my verse, tonight for me is gonna be—
[02:00.78] If you're first movie bombs, make a better sequel
[02:03.30] You fail the bar exam, become a paralegal
[02:06.19] Your first band the Quarrymen doesn't move the needle?
[02:08.76] Form a second band and call it the fucking Beatles!!
[02:14.04] We all get one shot twice
[02:16.59] We all get one shot twice
[02:19.09] In other words we get two shots in life
[02:21.53] That's right we all get one shot twice
[02:24.30] Two shots!
[02:25.96] We all get one shot twice
[02:27.19] We all get one shot twice
[02:29.87] In other words we get two shots in life
[02:32.19] That's right we all get one shot twice
[02:34.94] Two shots!
[02:36.10]
