When the ones you love have let you down Feel failure and wear the fool's crown Remember still there is a blessing Within the hardest lesson You self serving arrogant sycophant Your selfish acts thoughtless tasks and livid rants Every time you want to make the world go away Just take an injection of your chosen misery And when I fall I have the strength to learn the steps And crawl into the pain Sometimes the mirror is cruel If your mother gave the lesson Never waste the truth You self serving arrogant sycophant Your selfish acts thoughtless tasks and livid rants Every time you want to make the world go away Just take an injection of your chosen misery Yesterday was plagued with rain Like seven drops of velvet pain Hail yesterday Thursday was the day of sin Friday silent hell began Hail yesterday Saturday was plagued with rain I played the jester perfectly, hail yesterday Sunday never came to mind I played the jester perfectly when misery delivered me Monday's afterthought was blind I played the jester perfectly, hail yesterday Tuesday stole the show I played the jester perfectly when misery delivered me Hail yesterday Hail yesterday Tuesday stole the show When Wednesday k**ed the golden crow
