Upright - Pain

The Argonauts always intrigued me

They typified every man

Happy unless something popped up

That wasn't part of the plan

But there'd been no pretention

Of plans from the start

So why did they go

Were they stupid and slow

They were so cocky and sure

At the start of the show

But when the sails went flat

And the Argo just sat

Or the rocks came crashing

Or the water ran low

When Hercules split

And Jason admitted

He didn't know where to go

He said

"You can whine

Until your mouth dries up

You can hang your head

And wonder why

You can die or you

Can stand upright

And never go down again "

Sisyphus always intrigued me

He never decided to stop

The point of it lay in the trying

And not in attaining the top

Granted

He didn't have much of a choice

But neither do you

And neither do I

And neither do you

And neither do I

But even Mr Moneybags

On the hill

Has never stopped pushing

And never quite will

We're not just here

To see how hard we try

But the way we try

And it ain't no lie

Well you can whine

Until your mouth dries up

You can hang your head

And wonder why

You can die or

You can stand upright

And never go down again

Let's go

So I'm making up songs

In my head to

The cadence of seams

In the road

Most of them suck

It kills time though;

We've got a freaking

Long way to go

But our hearts are strong

And our minds intact

And we're never gonna stop

And that's a big fat fact

A little cream in my coffee

And a good CD

Making everybody sing

Along with me

Well you can whine

Until your mouth dries up

You can hang your head

And wonder why

You can die

Or you can stand upright

And never go down again

Well you can whine

Until your mouth dries up

You can hang your head

And wonder why

You die or stand upright

And never go down again

And never go down again
