[Verse 1]
Oh, what‘d you come here for
With your sad-look eyes and a surplus coat?
Is it a childish dream?
Well, you can always hope
[Chorus]
But you try, and you fail
And you can't, and you don't
And you ain't, and you won't
And you won't
[Verse 2]
Oh, seventeen, you got it all laid out
You got that upward motion
You got the dance moves down
By twenty-five, you're sinking underground
[Chorus]
'Cause you try, and you fail
And you can't, and you don't
And you ain't, and you won't
And you won't
Whoo!
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Oh, what‘d you come here for
With those sad-look eyes and a surplus coat?
Is it a childish dream?
Well, you can always hope
[Chorus]
But you try, and you fail
And you can't, and you don't
And you ain't, and you won't
And you won't
