It's What You Took

It's not the way the wheel was spun
The way your destiny was sung
It's not your fate
It's what you took
It's not the chair that made you fall
That knocked your head against the wall
And watched you crawl
It's what you took
You used to need a marquee high
The only real way you could fly
Was with your name up in lights
And when your name slid from the bill
You looked for someone to kill
And you found you
It's what you took
