Screw Up
Why is it so hard to be me
I don’t know who else to be
Trying hard to do right
Always ends up a fright
Then I don’t seem sincere
Might as well go have a beer
Why do I even try
Makes me want to curl up and die
I attempt to be precise
But all I do is roll the dice
Then it seems I’m being untrue
When screwing up is all I do
It’s no fun being a scatterbrain
And always getting caught in the rain
Can someone help break this spell
I put myself through pure hell
Just be careful what you do
Is all I ever heard or knew
Take it slow and before long
You will stop hearing gongs
How can they tell so many untruths
Where the hell is that noose
I’m just a big ole goof
Because screwing up is all I do
