You’re Never Gonna Win
The best thing we can do is to give up. After that, it's all a victory.
You’re never gonna win
not even if you practice all day,
not even if you get that nose job,
not even if you win the lottery or
hit the triactor.
It’s just not gonna happen.
Entropy has us all in her dirty hands.
There’s a loose nut in every assembly line.
There’s a self-destruct button blinking
on and off
in everyone’s heart.
Best to not swim upstream.
Learn to love the toast on the floor,
jam side down ‘cuz
your ship always will be
going back out again
and
you’re never gonna win.
Get used to it.
There ain’t no Oz, Dorthy.
