99% of Us Is Failure

99% of Us Is Failure - Matthew Good

Written by：Matthew Good

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 *** that never work enough

And I know it's real 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 going back

And I know it's real slow honey

Painful and real slow

Blackbird come the break of dawn

The TV's on and I turn it off

Walk outside get in the car

Stare at the wheel and fall apart

I get it all of 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

And white hall 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 it's real slow honey

Painful and real slow

Blackbird come the break of day

You swallow the sh*t that people say

Walk outside look at the sky

Ask it to fall or tell you why
