Song | Upright |
Artist | Pain |
Album | Full Speed Ahead |
The argonauts always intrigued me, | |
They typified every man: | |
Happy unless something popped up | |
That wasn't part of the plan | |
But there'd been no pretension of plans from the start, | |
So why did they go? | |
Were they stupid and slow? | |
They were so cocky and sure at the start of the show... | |
But when the sails hung flat & the | |
Argo just sat, | |
Or the rocks came crashin' or the water ran low, | |
When Hercules split, & | |
Jason admitted that he didn't know where to go, he said: | |
You can whine until your mouth dries up, | |
Tou can hang your head and wonder why, | |
Tou can die, or you can stand upright | |
And never go down again | |
Sisyphus always intrigued me, he never decided to stop; | |
The point of it lay in the trying and not in attaining the top | |
Granted, he didn’t have much of a choice, | |
But neither do you & neither do | |
I, And neither did you & neither do | |
I And even | |
Mr Moneybags on the hill has never stopped pushin’ and he never quite will | |
We’re not just here to see how hard we try | |
But the way we try & it ain’t no lie | |
You can whine until your mouth dries up, | |
You can hang your head and wonder why, | |
You can die, or you can stand upright and never go down again | |
So I’m makin’ up songs in my head | |
To the cadence of seams in the road; | |
Most of ‘em suck, it kills time, though: | |
We’ve got a freakin’ long way to go | |
But our hearts are strong & our minds intact | |
And we’re never gonna stop, & that’s a big, fat fact | |
A little cream in my coffee & a good | |
CD, Makin’ everybody sing along with me: | |
You can whine until your mouth dries up, | |
You can hang your head and wonder why, | |
You can die, or you can stand upright and never go down again | |
And never go down again. |
