[verse 1]
and i, i’ve been lonely
and i, i’ve been blind
and i, i’ve learned nothing
so my hands are firmly tied
to the sinking lead weight of failure

[verse 2]
i’ve worked hard all my life
money slips through my hands
my face in the mirror tells me
it’s no surprise that i am
pushing the stone up the hill of failure

[verse 3]
and they tempt me with violence
and they punish me with ideals
and they crush me with an image of my life
that’s nothing but unreal
except on the godd-mned slaveship of failure

[verse 4]
and i’ll drown here trying
to get up for some air
but each time i think i breathe
i’m laid on with a double share
of the punishing burden of failure

[verse 5]
i don’t deserve to be down here
but i’ll never leave
and i, i’ve learned one thing
you can’t escape the beast
in the null and void pit of failure

[verse 6]
when i get my hands on some money
i’ll kiss its green skin
and i’ll ask its dirty face
“where the h-ll have ya been?”
“i’m the fuel that fires the engines of failure”

[verse 7]
and i’ll be old and broken down
and i’ll forget who and where i am
i’ll be senile or forgotten
but i’ll remember and understand
you can bank your hard-earned money on failure

[verse 8]
i saw my father crying
i saw my mother break her hand
on a wall that wouldn’t weep
but that certainly held in
the mechanical moans of a dying man who was a failure

[verse 9]
my back hurts me when i bend
’cause i carry a load
and my brain hurts like a knife-hole
because i’ve yet to be shown
how to pull myself out from the sucking quicksand of failure

[verse 10]
some people lie in h-ll
many b-st-rds succeed
but i, i’ve learned nothing
i can’t even elegantly bleed
out the poison blood of failure
