[instrumental] [verse 1] They call you a failure Even with schools and degrees While your friends made millions Fast cars, girls on their knees They flew from New York to Istanbul First-class life, breaking every rule And you’re still here, standing tall With nothing to lose at all [Pre-Chorus] They shine in satin ties Gucci shoes, a perfect disguise You wear old jeans, a faded shirt Beer in hand, boots in the dirt [Chorus] No ice in my whiskey No Havana cigars But I share what I’ve got With the broken and the scarred Failure? — maybe not Who’s the fraud, who forgot? [instrumental and solo guitar] [Verse 2] They read the Wall Street news You burn it just for heat They dream of leather seats You kiss on a park bench, heartbeat The night feels more alive Than any gold they try to hide [Bridge] Who says you’re behind? Who dares to define? The fortune’s in the starlit sky On a motorbike, just you and the night [Chorus] No ice in my whiskey No Havana cigars But I share what I’ve got With the broken and the scarred Failure? — maybe not Who’s the fraud, who forgot? [Outro] Tore the diploma in two Burned the past, it’s through You’ll never wear the mask Of a failure they drew [instrumental, final explosion]
