99% Of Us Is Failure

	I know that it's bad
	That it's the kind that they can't operate on
	And I know it's real slow, honey
	Painful and real slow
	Styrofoam coffee cups
	And bagged drugs that never work enough
	And I know its real slow, honey
	Painful and real slow
	When we were young
	And hit like hammers
	I'd write the nails in your hands
	But when 99% of us is failure
	There's no going back
	And I know its real slow, honey
	Painful and real slow
	Blackbird come the break of dawn
	The TV's on,
	I turn it off
	Walk outside, get in the car
	Stare at the wheel then fall apart
	I get it all the time
	Bright eyes to bat and hide behind
	But I know they're just for show, honey
	Painful and just for show
	Black rooms to babysit
	White halls to pace and wait for it
	And I know it's too slow, honey
	Painful and real slow
	When we were young
	And hit like hammers
	I'd write the nails in your hands
	When 99% of us is failure
	There's no coming back
	And I know its real slow, honey
	Painful and real slow
	Blackbird come the break of day
	You swallow the shit that people say
	Walk outside look at the sky
	Ask it to fall or tell you why
