Well, I set myself up big time this time   With the notion that you try your best then   Everyone wins      But nothin' ever goes that smoothly   And it won?t end like a movie   Where the good guy always wins      Until you figure out   A way that you can live without   Stories with happy ends      Everyone, I know is tryin' to get by   Fightin' all the half-true lies   Nobody can win      They fill you up with expectations   Innovations and predictions that can?t   Possibly fly      Cinderella?s waiting tables   And the princess never did wake up   That?s how it begins      Until you figure out   A way that you can live without   Stories with happy ends      Well, everyone I know is tryin' to get by   Fightin' all the half true lies   Nobody can win      Nobody can win   Nobody can win
