nigel's lament (cut from "something rotten") - john cariani lyrics

nigel:
i often wonder why success eludes me
why that list of g*nius poets still excludes me
though greatness is my quest
i’m not even second best
i think i know why that is
i think it all comes down to this:

i suck

i suck!

i hold my quill, but it still runs amuck
i write, but it’s sh*te
it’s where me and mediocrity unite
used to think i had potential
turns out i’m inconsequential
and consequently, in this rut i’m stuck
that’s the way my story goes
man, it really blows
to suck

chorus:
(suck, you suck, you suck, you suck
you suck, you suck, you suck
oh my god, you suck
man, you really suck.)
nigel:
it’s not because the gods conspired against me
(chorus: you suck)
thesе years of cold rejection havе convinced me
(chorus: that you suck)
though i give it all i’ve got
i still get diddly*squat!
did i really just say diddly squat?
see what i mean? i’m lame. a lot

i suck
(chorus: it’s true)
i suck
(chorus: you do)
and there’s no one left for me to pass the buck
(chorus, supplying the rhyme: to)
aagh! it’s me!
(chorus: we agree)
i’m talent*free
(chorus: you’re talent*free)
and this suckage sucks the life right out of me
(the chorus breathes a heavy sigh)
used to think my life was dapper
chorus soloist:
now your life is in the cr*pper
nigel:
and even here i’n still sh*t*out*of*luck
(chorus: sh*t, he’s out of luck)
but there’s one success that will prevail
the one where i will never fail
to suck

(chorus: you suck, you suck, you suck
you suck, you suck, you suck
you should give it up
you know you suck.)

nigel:
that;s the way my story goes
ask anyone who knows
man, it really blows

to suck

i suck

(chorus: you suck.)
