Generate meaning
1
He used to be a singer in a rock and roll band.
2
He would write the songs and I'd tremble at his hand.
3
But oh, la la
4
He lost poetic ethic and his songs were pathetic
5
And he's a failure now.
6
And he used to be the life and soul of everyone around,
7
You'd never catch him looking up and never see him down
8
But oh, la la
9
He couldn't raise a smile, no not for a while
10
And he's a failure now
11
Don't cry child
12
You've got so much more to live for.
13
Don't cry child
14
You've got something I would die for.
15
And if it comes to the rain just be glad you'll smile again,
16
Because so many don't and so many go unnamed.
17
People push right past me shouting various claims
18
A preacher pushes me aside and asked to wash my sins
19
I said no, la la
20
If He made me in his image,
21
Then he's a failure too.
22
And I used to need a couple of people keep my head down,
23
Now I need a whole lot more to keep me on the ground.
24
But oh, la la
25
I gave up something and I gave it up for nothing
26
And I am a failure now.
27
Don't cry child
28
You've got so much more to live for.
29
Don't cry child
30
You've got something I would die for.
31
And if it comes to the rain just be glad you'll smile again,
32
Because so many don't and so many go unnamed.
