Failing, Flailing

Lyrics

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!

 Nothing
 You won't say nothing
 You won't say nothing
 And that's just fine
 Nothing (take me back to that day when I went blind)
 You won't say nothing (I would like to see your face one last time)
 You won't say nothing (take me back to that day when I went blind)
 And that's just fine (I would like to see your face one last time)
 Nothing (Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me)
 You won't say nothing (And it's been years but still I fear that someday they'll desert me)
 You won't say nothing (Oh, it's hard, I know, when it's time to stand alone)
 And that's just fine (And no one understands you)
 Sticks and stones may break my bones
 But names will never hurt me
 Oh it's been years but still I fear that someday they'll desert me
 And it's hard, yes I know
 When it's time to stand alone
 And no one understands you
 Sticks and stones may break my bones
 But names will never hurt me
 And it's been years but still I fear that someday they'll desert me
 Oh, it's hard, I know
 When it's time to stand alone
 And no one understands you
