| [00:01.16] |
Failure |
| [00:16.97] |
He used to be a singer in a rock and roll band |
| [00:20.79] |
He would write the songs and I'd tremble at his hand |
| [00:24.54] |
But oh, la laa |
| [00:29.35] |
He lost poetic ethic and his songs were pathetic |
| [00:34.01] |
And he's a failure now |
| [00:39.76] |
He used to be the life and soul of everyone around |
| [00:43.57] |
You'd never catch him looking up and never see him down |
| [00:47.82] |
But oh, la laa |
| [00:52.13] |
He couldn't raise a smile oh not for a while and he's a failure now |
| [01:07.08] |
Don't cry child |
| [01:11.64] |
You've got so much more to live for |
| [01:15.20] |
Don't cry child |
| [01:19.88] |
You've got something I would die for |
| [01:22.44] |
And if it come to the rain |
| [01:26.63] |
Just be glad you'll smile again |
| [01:30.88] |
Cause so many don't |
| [01:35.01] |
And so many go unnamed |
| [01:42.45] |
People push right past me shouting various claims |
| [01:46.51] |
A preacher pushes me a side and asked to wash my sins I said no |
| [01:52.08] |
la laa |
| [01:54.95] |
If he made me in his image |
| [01:59.83] |
Then hes a failure too |
| [02:05.33] |
And I used to need a couple of people keep my head down |
| [02:09.27] |
Now I need a whole lot more to keep me on the ground |
| [02:13.08] |
But oh, la laa |
| [02:17.84] |
I gave up something and I gave it up for nothing and I am failure now |
| [02:28.21] |
Don't cry child |
| [02:32.90] |
You've got so much more to live for |
| [02:36.65] |
Don't cry child |
| [02:41.28] |
You've got something I would die for |
| [02:44.03] |
And if it come to the rain |
| [02:48.22] |
Just be glad you'll smile again |
| [02:52.40] |
Cause so many don't. |
| [02:56.60] |
And so many go unnamed |
| [03:06.72] |
