Persistence Doesn't Pay Off

from Graceful Mesaures by Nyentek

/

lyrics

Time and time again
They say the same old phrase
If you don’t at first succeed
Try, and try again

Some of us weren’t meant to win
Some of us won’t wear a grin
Some of us will fail again
Because persistence doesn’t pay off

Over and over, yes
The old adage goes
What doesn’t kill you
Makes you stronger

Well, I’ve lost enough limbs
To say that’s a load of droll
And it’s mighty hard to fight without arms
So keep your happy cliches to yourself, thanks

Some of us weren’t meant to win
Some of us won’t wear a grin
Some of us will fail again
Because persistence doesn’t pay off

Some of us weren’t meant to win
Some of us won’t wear a grin
Some of us will fail again
Because persistence doesn’t pay off
