He used be a singer in a rock and roll band.
He would write the songs and Id tremble at his hand.
But oh, la la
He lost poetic ethic and his songs they were pathetic
And hes a failure now.
And he used to be the life and soul of everyone around,
Youd never catch him looking up and never see him down
But oh, la la
He couldnt raise a smile, not for a while
And hes a failure now.
Dont cry child
Youve got so much more to live for.
Dont cry child
Youve got something I would die for.
And if it comes to the rain just be glad youll smile again,
Because so many dont and so many go un-named.
And people walk right past me shouting their exclaims,
A preacher pushes me aside and asks to wash my sins.
I said no, la la
If he made me in his image,
Then hes a failure too.
And I used to need a couple people keep my head down,
Now I need a whole lot more to keep me on the ground.
But oh, la la
I gave up something and I gave it up for nothing,
And Im a failure now.
Dont cry child
Youve got so much more to live for.
Dont cry child
Youve got something I would die for.
And if it comes to the rain just be glad youll smile again,
Because so many dont and so many go un-named.
