you were trying to be cute
|
and it didn't work out
|
you were trying to be charming
|
and it didn't come off
|
you were trying to be clever
|
a big waste of time
|
you were trying to get rough
|
but you're waiting in line
|
|
Chorus:
|
you can't make it with the down boys
|
they don't hear a word you say
|
you can't make it with the down boys
|
just stay out of their way
|
|
you were trying to be sharp
|
but they couldn't wait
|
you were trying to be eternal
|
but that didn't rate
|
you were trying to be smooth
|
you're rough on the edges
|
you were trying to be hysterical
|
well i still ain't laughing
|
|
(chorus)
|
|
you were trying to be in
|
but they left you out
|
you were trying to be in
|
two different worlds
|
you were trying to be in
|
oscillation in shame
|
you were trying to be in
|
but you're lost in the game
|
|
(chorus)
