I was bored in an after school program and asked the kid next to me to give me a word, any word, to start my song. He said “random.” Gee, thanks, dude. Here’s to a random seventh track.

 

Just a random kid on your way downtown

You’ve got a steel hard look and a sort of frown

You know you’ve got it all cut out for yourself

But when it comes to show time you blank out

 

Hey, you, listen to your heart now

Got to throw it big time

‘Cause you’ve only got one shot

It’s your last chance

To get everything right

So tell me, are you ready or not

 

I said, hey, you got to play it loud now

Have to hit the bull’s eye

Got to give it all you’ve got

I said, hey, you, listen to your heart now

Better throw it big time

So are you ready or not

 

Singing in the rain on your way back home

You’ve got a short term chord, you know it’s all your own

Stopping to rest near a knife sharp stone

And as you still sing a crowd starts to from

 

Hey, you, listen to your heart now

Got to throw it big time

‘Cause you’ve only got one shot

It’s your last chance

To make everything right

So tell me, are you ready or not

 

I said, hey, you got to play it loud now

Have to hit the bull’s eye

Got to give it all you’ve got

I said, hey, you, listen to your heart now

Better throw it big time

So are you ready or not

 

You’re the masterpiece of the century

Deep inside you there’s a lot

I know everything that you can be

If you want to be great, here’s your chance

 

Hey, you, listen to your heart now

Got to throw it big time

‘Cause you’ve only got one shot

It’s your last chance

To get everything right

So tell me, are you ready or not

 

I said, hey, you got to play it loud now

‘Cause the time is perfect

So give it all you’ve got

I said, hey, you, listen to your heart now

Better throw it big time

So are you ready or not

Are you ready or not
