Fate Is A Man

from Crooked Light by The Ohio Weather Band

/

lyrics

The way that I see it
Fate is a man
In a well-tailored suit
And a watch with no hands

For time is no concern
When you control the universe
If everything happens for a reason
Then that reason is him

There’s no majestic wonder
He’s a scientist for sure
With your life inside his beaker
And chance is left to burn

He’s kind most the time
You know, you still are alive
But somewhere a momma’s cryin’ baby
In a cemetery tonight

And that just ain’t right

So you search for some direction
In a world so tangled up
Don’t you give in
To his Jekyll mood swings

Don’t give up

And the miles that you’ve traveled
By foot or by machine
Are just tiny combustions
In the engine of a dream

Though friction will show
On your tires or soul
Maintenance is a bitch
But it’s the price of control

So you search for some connection
In a world so scattered thin
Don’t you listen
Just dismiss him

Don’t give in

Who’s the problem
You’re the problem
Who can solve it
You can solve it
