If I had bought in before
I would have lost more
I waited for the call to come
That never came at all
The charge laid against us
That we did not manage well
Belies the existential fact
That we do not manage circumstances
Circumstances manage us.

In the chutzpah of our hubris
We think ourselves players on the stage
When we're merely shadows in the audience
Imagining ourselves in the spotlight
From the comfort of the darkness
Committing vain acts and foolish follies
Trying to negotiate with chaos
Some call it luck, some call it destiny
But we don't choose our fates
Fate chooses our destinies 
And, in the end, luck decides everything else.
