| I fucked up today, I fucked up before
|
| I fucked up so much I can’t keep track anymore
|
| I fucked up on girls, I fucked up this song
|
| I fucked up on my sister, my dad, and my mom
|
| I fucked up on everyone, I fucked up on me
|
| I fucked up with money, and man, nothing is free
|
| I fucked up on Letterman, I fucked up on stage
|
| I fucked up on time and I fucked up too late
|
| But now, I am ready to win
|
| I stand on a river, I stand on a stage
|
| Hoping for glory, or maybe today
|
| 'Cause it’s all a mistake, and a beautiful mess
|
| Like your next door neighbor when you saw him undress
|
| And I’ll do it forever, do nothing but fail
|
| A student of error who can only prevail
|
| 'Cuse learning is trying and trying is hard
|
| When it feels like falling’s going to tear you apart
|
| But now, I am ready to win
|
| Yeah, now, I am ready
|
| So turn on the house lights, turn to your left
|
| Shake hands with someone that you’ll probably forget
|
| And tell them they’re great, tell them they’re splendid
|
| No matter how all of their fuckups have ended
|
| Tell them they’re free from whatever happened
|
| From all of the haters who need someone to slap them
|
| Just go and fuck up, fuck up fucking up
|
| Nothing but fucking up, never e-fucking-nough
|
| And then you’ll be strong, and then you’ll be fearless
|
| 'Cause you’ve done it all, and your tear ducts are tearless
|
| Then you’ll remember, there’s a fire in your heart
|
| And a dream in your head, and permission to start
|
| And from out of the silence you will hear your voice
|
| Like a big fucking siren and you won’t have a choice
|
| And you will stand up, throw caution to the wind
|
| And you will scream out that you are ready to win
|
| Are you ready?
|
| Ready to win
|
| 'Cause everyone’s weak and everyone’s drunk
|
| And everyone’s smart but usually wrong
|
| And Rome wasn’t built on a fucking cliché
|
| And I love you all in the best fucking way
|
| Fuck up like a pro, fuck up like a saint
|
| Fuck up for the terrified people in wait
|
| Because the good things are hard and the hard things are good
|
| You know I’d fuck up for you if I could
|
| But now, you are ready to win
|
| And now, you are ready to win
|
| And now, I am ready |
