Don't Stop Beating Yourself Up

All of the failures are mine
All the successes are theirs
I cannot stop ordering wine
I keep rearranging the chairs

Don’t stop
Don’t stop
Don’t stop beating yourself up

Should you go to Malaysia,
You best prepare to be caned
If you listen to Erasure
May need to have your earwax drained

If you prop up yourself as a hero,
Better get yourself a high steel box
‘Cause here in the Land
of Absolute Zero,
They only listen to the aftershocks

Don’t stop
Don’t stop
Don’t stop beating yourself up

‘Cause that wouldn’t be right
