[00:00.00]League of Failures - Jill Sobule
[00:11.55]I once saw it in a book I had
[00:17.04]God was by my side
[00:22.34]My name in lights up there on the marquee
[00:27.03]And God was very proud
[00:33.16]I've been a miner for a heart of gold
[00:37.90]A dreamer who just won't wake up
[00:43.70]I thought I'd plunge into the deepest vein
[00:48.44]It wasn't deep enough
[00:53.82]And I will fall a hundred stories
[00:59.24]And open up my hand
[01:04.62]And scatter all my dreams of glory
[01:09.98]Like seeds upon the land
[01:26.88]Still have your picture on my wall of faith
[01:32.20]Next to the grocery list
[01:37.50]I keep forgetting I should take you down
[01:41.48]I'm gonna take you down
[01:47.47]And I will fall a hundred stories
[01:52.97]And open up my hand
[01:58.21]And scatter all my dreams of glory
[02:03.52]Like seeds upon the land
[02:08.07]And I'll join the league of failures
[02:14.12]And I will be resigned
[02:19.56]To fall a hundred stories
[02:24.67]And leave it all behind
[02:41.52]And I will promise to forget the ones
[02:46.82]Who took more than they gave
[02:52.19]At least I'll have some peace of mind
[02:56.55]As I dig their graves
[03:02.73]And on my way down I hope to see
[03:07.17]The one I hurt the most
[03:13.34]Perhaps he'll open up his window
[03:18.46]And we'll fly this ghost
[03:23.44]And I will fall a hundred stories
[03:28.69]And open up my hand
[03:34.12]And scatter all my dreams of glory
[03:39.18]Like seeds upon the land
[03:43.91]And I'll join the league of failures
[03:49.85]I bet that I'll be glad
[03:54.96]To fall a hundred stories
[04:00.39]And I'll have peace at last
[04:04.76]And I'll set this house on fire
[04:10.78]And burn the whole thing down
[04:15.97]My laurels turned to ashes
[04:21.51]And I'll still be around
