lyrics

You lost some but you thought you’d win some
As though you had a shared value system
You let ‘em go ‘cause the averages favor
A few missed tricks in a healthy wager

It’s the mark of a failed myopic, you can’t see the details of the topic
If your vision were more microscopic, you’d be in the game

You’ve been making some forward progress
The bad calls help just to keep you honest
You lie a little ‘cause who could argue
If they don’t know then they won’t charge you

It’s the mark of a failed myopic, you can’t see the details of the topic
If your vision were more microscopic you’d be in the game

I’d like to think that you did all that you could
But your hand was never good enough to deal you in

It’s been taking a toll for ages
The pain hits hard and it comes in stages
It’s tough to make nice and save your face, still
You don’t care but I bet your kids will

It’s the mark of a failed myopic, you can’t see the details of the topic
If your vision were more microscopic you’d be in the game
