I used my patience, held on longer than no man could expect I tried my all, convincing efforts would never have effect Was it all for nothing Was it all in vain If it counts for something I'd do it all again It's time to end the project It's time to part our ways The project doomed from the start The project born to fail You gave me nothing, but just enough to keep me coming back I hoped to die for something, and for a living that's slightly more than black Was it all for nothing Was it all in vain If it counts for something I'd do it all again
