99% Of Us Is Failure Lyrics by Matthew Good

Hospital Music

2007

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
