[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
