Pain - Upright Lyrics
The Argonauts always intrigued meThey typified every manHappy unless something popped upThat wasn't part of the planBut there'd been no pretention of plans from the startSo why did they go?Were they stupid and slow?They were so *****y and sureAt the start of the showBut when the sails went flatAnd the Argo just satOr the rocks came crashingOr the water ran lowWhen Hercules splitAnd Jason admitted he didn't know where to go, he said,"You can whine until your mouth dries upYou can hang your head and wonder whyYou can die or you can stand uprightAnd never go down again."Sisyphus always intrigued meHe never decided to stopThe point of it lay in the tryingAnd not in attaining the topGranted, he didn't have much of a choice,But neither do you, and neither do IAnd neither do you, and neither do IBut even Mr. Moneybags on the hillHas never stopped pushing and never quite willWe're not just here to see how hard we tryBut the way we try, and it ain't no lie...Well, you can whine until your mouth dries upYou can hang your head and wonder whyYou can die or you can stand uprightAnd never go down againLET'S GO! (musical interlude)So I'm making up songs in my head toThe cadence of seams in the road.Most of them suck. It kills time, though;We've got a freaking long way to go.But our hearts are strong and our minds intactAnd we're never gonna stopAnd that's a big, fat fact.A little cream in my coffee and a good CDMaking everybody sing along with me...Well, you can whine until your mouth dries upYou can hang your head and wonder whyYou can die or you can stand uprightAnd never go down againWell, you can whine until your mouth dries upYou can hang your head and wonder whyYou die or stand uprightAnd never go down again.And never go down again.HUH.
