The Replacements – Learn How to Fail Lyrics

Alternative

Sand without a pail
Throwing rocks with your hands in the well
Little toes and colds
Stick 'em all around, don't worry what you're told
That's my loss
No Easter Bunny and there's no Santa Claus

First you must learn how to fail
Before you're allowed to do anything real
First you must learn how to fail

You're growin' up much too fast
Soon you'll be dating boys that laughed
Pulling pigtails
Whatever they'll be wearing in a ten-year rail
Sand without a pail
Playin' with me until I'm too old to see
First you must learn how to fail
Before you're allowed to do anything real
First you must learn how to fail
Before you're allowed to do anything real

First you must learn how to fail
Before they'll let you do anything real
First you must learn how to fail
Before you're allowed to do anything real
Anytime now
First you must learn how to fail
How to fail
How to fail
How to fail
How to fail
How to fail
Don't worry baby
You'll do just fine
