You’re never gonna win<\/p>\n
not even if you practice<\/p>\n
all day, every day,<\/p>\n
not even if you get<\/p>\n
that nose job or<\/p>\n
invent a better mouse trap,<\/p>\n
not even if you win the lottery or<\/p>\n
hit the triactor, 100 to 1.<\/p>\n
It’s just not gonna happen.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Entropy has you between her legs<\/p>\n
and she’s holding your head down<\/p>\n
in her dirty hands.<\/p>\n
There’s a loose nut in<\/p>\n
every assembly line,<\/p>\n
there’s a self destruct button<\/p>\n
blinking on and off<\/p>\n
in each of our hearts.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Best to not swim upstream.<\/p>\n
Learn to love the toast on the floor<\/p>\n
jam side down<\/p>\n
cuz<\/p>\n
your ship always goes<\/p>\n
back out again<\/p>\n
and you’re never gonna win<\/p>\n
cuz<\/p>\n
there ain’t no Oz Dorthy.<\/p>\n
Go ask Cesar.<\/p>\n
Go ask Marilyn.<\/p>\n
Tell it to the moon<\/p>\n
and then sit back and wait<\/p>\n
for the next go around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
