Situations
by Jack Johnson
Situation number one, it's the one that's just begun
But evidently it's too late
Situation number two, it's the only chance for you
It's controlled by denizens of hate
Situation number three, it's the one that no one sees
Is all too often dismissed as fate
Situation number four, the one that left you wanting more
It tantalized you with its bait
