Failure Is Just A State Of Mind

All my friends are living in the darkness
It's so hard for them to see the light
Striving to pass more examinations
They never ever stay out late at night

The nasty music they are always playing
Is so insufferably bland
Striving to pass more examinations
They never ever stay out and get canned

So I say to them...
The future is always uncertain
And making plans is just a waste of time
The past, it is dead and gone now
And failure is just a state of mind

Once I was just as blind as they are
Thought A Levels would make my life worthwhile
But now that I've discovered weird noise music
I can just watch them and smile

Their lives are filled with duodenal ulcers
And worry, worry, worry all the time
But still they like to point at me with laughter
As if to be a failure was a crime

So I say to them...
The future is always uncertain
And making plans is just a waste of time
The past, it is dead and gone now
And failure is just a state of mind
