(A minor) I, I've been lonely

Verse 2
(A minor)
I've worked hard all my life
Money slips through (F major) my (A minor) hands
My face in the mirror tells me
It's no surprise that I'm
Pushing the stone (F major) up (A minor) the hill
Verse 3
Of failure
(A minor)
They tempt me with violence
They punish me with ideals
And they crush me with an image of my
Life that's nothing but unreal
Except on the goddamned (F major) (A minor) slaveship
Verse 4
Of failure
(A minor)
I'll drown here trying
To get up for some air
But each time I think I breathe
I'm laid on with a double share
Of the punishing burden
(F major) Of (A minor) failure
Verse 5
(A minor)
I don't deserve to be down here
But I'll never leave
And I've learned one thing
You can't escape the beast
In the null and void (F major) pit
Of (A minor) failure
Interlude 1
(A minor)
Verse 6
When I get my hands (A minor) on some money
I'll kiss it's green skin
And I'll ask it's dirty face
"Where the hell have
you been?"
"I am the fuel that (F major) fires the (A minor) engine
Of failure."
Verse 7
I'll be old and (A minor) broken down
I'll forget who and where I am
I'll be senile or forgotten
But I'll remember and understand
You can bank your hard-earned money
(F major) money
On (A minor) failure
Verse 8
(A minor)
I saw my father crying
I saw my mother break her hand
On a wall that wouldn't weep
But that certainly held in
The mechanical moans (F major) (A minor) of a dying man
Who was a failure
Verse 9
My back hurts me (A minor) when I bend
Because I carry a load
My brain hurts me like a knife-hole
Because Because I've yet to be shown
How to pull myself (F major) out from
(A minor) The sucking quicksand
Interlude 2
Of failure
(A minor)
Verse 10
Some people live in hell (A minor)
Many bastards succeed
But I. I've learned nothing
I can't even elegantly bleed
Out the poison (F major) blood
Of (A minor) failure
