When we were kids
I did my best to make them proud
It just wasn't in me
I could not fly straight to save my life
Their big success is now their biggest failure
Their golden child has been dethroned
Their reputation is now in ruin
Their tower to Heaven has come tumbling down
And all the while
The good Lord smiles
And looks the other way
Because sometimes part time jobs are just embarrassments to the family name, and working hard means very little if you amount to nothing, forever.
