Your failed promotions, your nutty notions
You tread the waters, of deep cold oceans
Wallets lightened, belts are tightened
Fail on, fail on, failure

You nest the squatters, fight tycoon plotters
Jail new tomorrows, of sons and daughters
Unrelenting, homes are empty
Fail on, fail on, failure

Caught, like a pussy cat, alone with no tail
Talked like you lost your head, and oh, you set sail

Oh you stumbled, then you tumbled
Tried to crumble, live's you've humbled
Feel the wringing, we've been given
Never ending, unrepenting
Heartaches nearing, always jeering
Never caring, curse your hearing
Fail on, fail on, failure

You work to repay, your big league squeeze play
Through rain check vouchers, rich wicked yachters
Unadmired, benched and wired
Fail on, fail on, failure

Always needing, even pleading
Never leading, always reeling
Damn, we wonder, As you blunder
Are we under, all the plunder
Stop your crying, and your lying
and your prying, and your spying
Fail on, fail on, failure
Fail on, fail on, failure
Fail on, fail on, failure
Fail on, fail on, failure
Fail on, fail on, failure
Fail on, fail on, failure
Fail on, fail on, failure
