Failing, Flailing

You say you've got the cure

But I don't have a disease

And you say you've got the answers

But I've made no inquiries

And you're failing

Bailing

Good god motherfucker now I hear you flailing

I see you flailing

That's right I think I do

I see you flailing away, away

I know it's hard but so are you

And so am I and we'll pull through together, together, and I said

That it's been years but I still fear

That someone dear will leave me here forever, forever, and I said

Hey! (Hey!) Hey! (Hey!) Hey! (Hey!)

Hey! (Hey!) Hey! (Hey!) Hey! (Hey!)

Hey! You've got to keep trying

You've got to keep holding onto what you've got

Because what you've got it sure ain't a lot

And hey!

Everyone's falling down

Everyone's holding out for what you've got

But what you've got, it sure ain't a lot

And you act like it is but you know that it's not

And even if it was, would you ever give it up?

If I told you what you had was really nothing?

Nothing?

Nothing!

Yes, it's nothing

Nothing at all

Well you say your life's a bore

And I can't quite disagree

If you judge your life by the pieces of shit that inhabit your TV

Because they stand so proud, and they talk so loud

And every other word is a lie, I've found

That everyone who is anyone is a waste of time

A waste of time!

I know it's hard but so are you

And so am I and we'll pull through together, together, and I said

That it's been years but I still fear

That someone dear will leave me here forever, forever, and I said

Hey! (Hey!) Hey! (Hey!) Hey! (Hey!)

Hey! (Hey!) Hey! (Hey!) Hey! (Hey!)

Hey! You've got to keep trying

You've got to keep holding onto what you've got

Because what you've got it sure ain't a lot

And hey!

Everyone's falling down
