Two Shots

Lyrics

[Intro: Yasper] 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 [Verse 1: Yasper] But what happens if you choke and you didn't catch a break? If you failed, or you bailed 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 wе just remained the crop [Pre-Chorus: Yasper] I'vе 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 [Chorus: Yasper] 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 [Verse 2: Aniq] Now what you're saying is confusing, but I think I understand Everybody gets one shot, times a second chance? [Yasper] Exactly, somehow I didn't make it with my ska band Apparently pop, punk or brass doesn't win you fans So, do I hang up my suspenders, pork pie and trombone? Be content installing A/V equipment in people's homes? Hell no, because life's gonna throw 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge: Company, Aniq] Two shots To launch a second career! Two shots Like my uncle Amir! Two shots He was a lawyer, now he's kick-starting a microbrew 'Cause you don't get one shot, you get two! [Verse 3: Aniq] I fell in love with Zoe in Mr. Shapiro's class Chemistry partners whose chemistry was unmatched Maybe with the exception of hydrogen and oxygen (Water!) But I never made a move, so she walked to the altar With another dude, and I got so depressed I fell apart like "The 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! [Verse 4: Walt, Yasper & Aniq] And now it's time for my verse Tonight, for me, is gonna be— If your 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 fuckin' Beatles! [Chorus] 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!
