You’re never gonna win<\/p>\n
not even if you<\/p>\n
practice all day,<\/p>\n
not even if you<\/p>\n
get that nose job,<\/p>\n
not even if you<\/p>\n
win the lottery or<\/p>\n
hit the triactor.<\/p>\n
It’s just not gonna happen.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Entropy has us all in her<\/p>\n
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 everyone’s heart.<\/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 will be<\/p>\n
going back out again<\/p>\n
and<\/p>\n
you’re never gonna win.<\/p>\n
Get used to it.<\/p>\n
