In a world where so many die
The only thing you can do is try
All 23 will be against you,
but they feel that way too
The crowd can help in deciding your fate
If you are either valuable or dead weight
Your mentor will train you
Unless it's Haymitch, then they'll say "Forget you"
You shall be treated like king or queen
Your life will feel serene
Until the final day comes
Then the dread will pound like drums
As you stand on your podium
You hope you will blossom
Because death is soon
And the audience will watch as if it is a cartoon
You will run for your life
With the wildlife
Some will make it and some will perish
Chances are in anguish
Whe
