Failure

I finished at the height of my high school They said I could do whatever I wanted to I thought about it for a while And then I answered with a smile

I choose failure, failure and regret Failure and dreams I never met Failure, failure and regret Failure and dreams I never met

I learned to follow rules and be repressed My parents were so proud of my success I could say that it was fun but I'd be a liar Four years, like a match with my head on fire

Choose failure, failure and regret Failure and dreams I never met Failure, failure and regret Failure and dreams I never met

It's a long way down There's so much further to go, so much further to go-o-o

Yes I'm all alone, feeling blue Never knowing what to do Was happy, now it's low
Stubbing each and every toe

Never getting out of bed They pick someone else instead Burn out faster than a comet Wake up in a pool of vomit

You can't even touch your toes We all know where your money goes Popping pills, playing dumb Make pretend you're having fun

Old and fat, weak and bald You waited but they never called Having sex with rabid squirrels Beaten up by little girls

Too much pot, bored a lot They all laughed but you got caught No one asked you to the dance Someone stole your underpants

Up all night, sleep all day Looks like that rash won't go away Public favor, secret shame You've only got yourself to blame

Wait but never get your turn The lessons that you'll never learn A perfect moment but you spoiled it I flushed your goldfish down the toilet

Volunteers, volunteers That's really nice, but no one cares What's the moral? I'm not sure I got it bad, there ain't no cure

For failure, failure and regret Failure and dreams I never met Failure, failure and regret Failure and dreams I never met

It's a long way down There's so much further to go, so much further to go-o-o
