Guess I must've lost it
If I ever had it to lose
Never seen a bridge a crossed it
Couldn't figure out all the clues

Once I was an actor
But I couldn't nail role
Tried to be a salesman
All I sold was my soul

Everybody knows about
All the times I've struck out
Everybody knows I'm a fool

Guess I'll take my place among
Hall of shame champions
If I can abide by the rules

Caught some breaks but threw em back
Always coming off the tracks
What can I do

Taking space and wasting time
Making all these songs of mine
Falling down right on cue

Take a liitle comfort in
Knowing that I'll never win
Why try?

Always swimming upstream
A recurring theme
Of my life
