certificate of achievement
the world's best try
good, better, and best are all leaving
so here's your consolation prize
keep tapping your toes
and answering "no"
don't you know that i know that...
it's not that easy
it depends on where you start
it's not that easy
it could end with a broken heart
and we'll sing and we'll sing and we'll sing and we'll sing
and we'll sing and we'll sing and we'll sing and we'll sing
about love, about life, about all it's devices
and the played out hand we've been dealt here tonight
