Human Failing

Maybe it was lust this time
Maybe it was greed
A little bit of arrogance
Or my old friend hypocrisy
Maybe it was power
A longing for control
Refusal to accept the death of the cult of rock and roll

I'm a human failing again
I'm a human failing again

Maybe it was gluttony
Maybe it was pride
A fear of repercussions on the other side
I will not be poor again
The gangster's raison d'être
Or maybe it was something else but I haven't found it yet

I'm a human failing again
I'm a human failing again

Human failing
Dead man walking

You got in some predicaments
An amount of minor scrapes
More by luck than judgement you had some close escapes
In search of silver linings all you found were clouds
But I guess if you're singing this you made it through somehow

To be a human failing again
A human failing again

Human failing
Dead man walking

Maybe it was envy
Maybe it was sloth
I never had the energy to try and count the cost

I tried to pay the devil
But he wouldn't take my dime
He said I could have paid him yesterday
If I'd been on time

I'm a human failing again
I'm a human failing again

Human failing
Dead man walking
