You’re never gonna win
\nnot even if you
\npractice all day,
\nnot even if you
\nget that nose job,
\nnot even if you
\nwin the lottery or
\nhit the triactor.
\nIt’s just not gonna happen.
\nEntropy has us all in her
\ndirty hands.
\nThere’s a loose nut in
\nevery assembly line.
\nThere’s a self-destruct button
\nblinking on and off
\nin everyone’s heart.<\/p>\n
Best to not swim upstream.
\nLearn to love the toast on the floor,
\njam side down
\ncuz
\nyour ship always will be
\ngoing back out again
\nand
\nyou’re never gonna win. <\/p>\n
Get used to it.
