Failure |
He used to be a singer in a rock and roll band |
He would write the songs and I’d tremble at his hand but oh, la la He lost poetic ethic and his songs were pathetic, and he’s a failure now. |
He used to be the life and soul of everyone around |
You’d never catch him looking up and never see him down but oh, la la He couldn’t raise a smile, no, not for a while and he’s a failure now |
Don’t cry child, you’ve got so much more to live for |
Don’t cry child, you’ve got something I would die for |
And if it comes to the rain, just be glad you’ll smile again |
Cause so many don’t. |
And so many go unnamed |
People push right past me shouting their exclaims |
A preacher pushes me aside and asked to wash my sins I said no, la la If he made me in his image, then he’s a failure too |
And I used to need a couple of people keep my head down |
Now I need a whole lot more to keep me on the ground but oh, la la |
I gave up something and I gave it up for nothing and I am a failure now |
Don’t cry child, you’ve got so much more to live for |
Don’t cry child, you’ve got something I would die for |
And if it comes to the rain, just be glad you’ll smile again |
Cause so many don’t. |
And so many go unnamed. |
