And I, Ive been lonely And I, Ive been blind And I, Ive learned nothing So my hands are firmly tied To the sinking leadweight of failure Ive worked hard all my life Money slips through my hands My face in the mirror tells me Its no surprise that I am Pushing the stone up the hill of failure They tempt me with violence They punish me with ideals And they crush me with an image Of my life thats nothing but unreal Except on the goddamned slaveship of failure Ill drown here trying To get up for some air But each time I think I breathe Im laid on with a double share Of the punishing burden of failure I dont deserve to be down here But Ill never leave And I, Ive learned one thing You cant escape the beast In the null and void pit of failure When I get my hands on some money Ill kiss its green skin And Ill ask its dirty face Where the hell have you been? I am the fuel that fires the engines of failure. Ill be old and broken down Ill forget who and where I am Ill be senile or forgotten But Ill remember and understand You can bank your hard-earned money on failure I saw my father crying I saw my mother break her hand On a wall that wouldnt weep But that certainly held in The mechanical moans of a dying man Who was a failure My back hurts me when I bend Because I carry a load And my brain hurts like a knife-hole Because Ive yet to be shown How to pull myself out from The sucking quicksand of failure Some people lie in hell Many bastards succeed But I, Ive learned nothing I cant even elegantly bleed Out the poison blood of failure.
