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 laa 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 laa He couldn't raise a smile oh 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 come 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 various claims A preacher pushes me a side and asked to wash my sins I said no la laa If he made me in his image Then hes 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 laa I gave up something and I gave it up for nothing and I am 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 come to the rain Just be glad you'll smile again Cause so many don't. And so many go unnamed
