[Verse 1]
Ten minutes in he's sweating
Should I have asked for more than fame?
Ignore that beast, he's smiling
It's not 'til next New Year's Eve

Wish I could get that list
Yes, I would burn that list
Down he goes

[Chorus]
Set him down to a real life failure
Held fast like the field mice, been there
Give a nod as if he knows, come round
Dead last with a drumroll when the dam blows

The dam blows
The dam blows
The dam blows

[Verse 2]
Quit blaming unending
Eliminate the results
Just blame me already
Then try in vain to be close
But these nerves are spent
Yes, these nerves are spent!

[Chorus]
Set him down to a real life failure
Held fast like the field mice, been there
Give a nod as if he knows, come round
Dead last with a drumroll when the dam blows

The dam blows
The dam blows
The dam blows

[Bridge]
Hand it down (hand it down)
It's your failure, it's your fail!

[Chorus]
Set him down to a real life failure
Held fast like the field mice, been there
Give a nod as if he knows, come around
Dead last with a drumroll when the dam blows

When the dam blows
When the dam blows
When the dam blows
