Failure

Are you ready to rock n roll
 Are you ready to fill my soul
 All those years I try not to remember
 Singin Stevie tunes in the schoolyard
 The nuns would whip their sticks and
 Try to make me remember
 That a whie boy shouldn't have to sing so hard
 When I sang those songs the penguins said
 Keep down the noise
 And you're never gonna make it as a choir boy
 Thank god for failure
 And the things I couldn't do
 So much of my life
 It's all I ever knew
 Thank you for failure
 And the mighty music
 For making the dreams that chose me
 Come true
 Schoolin's done now it's time to play it serious
 Forget about dreams forget about being a dude
 Study business real-estate and warfare history
 And just how to smile when you are being screwed
 Then I bombed the test and I did the best that I can
 So I finally cut my mullet and I joined a band
 chorus
 Are you ready to rock and roll
 Are you ready to fill my soul
 Thank you failure
 For all those things I could not do
 So much of my life
 It's all I ever knew
 Thank you failure for the mighty music
 Change is in my heart
 You know the dreams that chose me
 You made the dreams that chose me
 Come true
 All you did to mold this kid
 You filled my heart you blew my lid
 Oh you make me feel so good
 Ya gimme good home cookin and gravy too
 Ya gotta hop the doggie
 Taught me to hop the doggie
 Everything's okay now
