If_All_Else_Fails

Liars, cheaters, crooks and thieves

Pirates, killers, leeches, fleas

Seem to claim the victories

If you can’t beat ‘em join ‘em

Gangsters, mobsters clip the knees

Bad lawyers, corrupt police

Always claim the victories

If you can’t beat ‘em join ‘em

It’s my time, time to shine

That brass ring’s gon’ be mine

As I reach for the sky 

Gravity I’ll defy

Of course if all else fails

I’ll rely on no-one else

I’ma do it by myself

And I’ll think about the path that I’ll take

And of course if all else fails

I’ll rely on no-one else

I’ma do it by myself

And I’ll think about the money I’ll make

Devils, demons hold the keys

Trolls and dragons make the cheese

I can’t claim the victory

If you can’t beat ‘em join ‘em

Always swimming up the stream

It’s a struggle to compete

Rise above can’t take the heat

If you can’t beat ‘em join ‘em

Walked a mile head held high

Unclear sign of sound mind

Broken rules redefined

To the grind 9-5

Of course if all else fails

I’ll rely on no-one else

I’ma do it by myself

And I’ll think about the path that I’ll take

And of course if all else fails

I’ll rely on no-one else

I’ma do it by myself

And I’ll think about the money I’ll make

This is way out of my comfort zone

And it keeps chilling me to the bone

My steps won’t lead me up to the throne

I’m simply searching for my way home 

Of course if all else fails

I’ll rely on no-one else

I’ma do it by myself

And I’ll think about the path that I’ll take

And of course if all else fails

I’ll rely on no-one else

I’ma do it by myself

And I’ll think about the money I’ll make
