Tokyo Police Club Ready To Win
[Verse 1]
I f..cked up today, I f..cked up before
I f..cked up so much I can't keep track anymore
I f..cked up on girls, I f..cked up this song
I f..cked up on my sister, my dad, and my mom
I f..cked up on everyone, I f..cked up on me
I f..cked up with money, and man, nothing is free
I f..cked up on Letterman, I f..cked up on stage
I f..cked up on time and I f..cked up too late
[Chorus]
But now, I am ready to win
[Verse 2]
I stand on a river, I stand on a stage
Hoping for glory, or maybe today
'Cause it's all a mistake, and a beautiful mess
Like your next door neighbor when you saw him undress
And I'll do it forever, do nothing but fail
A student of error who can only prevail
'Cuse learning is trying and trying is hard
When it feels like falling's going to tear you apart
[Chorus]
But now, I am ready to win
Yeah, now, I am ready
[Verse 3]
So turn on the house lights, turn to your left
Shake hands with someone that you'll probably forget
And tell them they're great, tell them they're splendid
No matter how all of their f..ckups have ended
Tell them they're free from whatever happened
From all of the haters who need someone to slap them
Just go and f..ck up, f..ck up f..cking up
Nothing but f..cking up, never e-fucking-nough
And then you'll be strong, and then you'll be fearless
'Cause you've done it all, and your tear ducts are tearless
Then you'll remember, there's a fire in your heart
And a dream in your head, and permission to start
And from out of the silence you will hear your voice
Like a big f..cking siren and you won't have a choice
And you will stand up, throw caution to the wind
And you will scream out that you are ready to win
[Chorus]
Are you ready?
Ready to win
[Verse 4]
'Cause everyone's weak and everyone's drunk
And everyone's smart but usually wrong
And Rome wasn't built on a f..cking cliché
And I love you all in the best f..cking way
Fuck up like a pro, f..ck up like a saint
Fuck up for the terrified people in wait
Because the good things are hard and the hard things are good
You know I'd f..ck up for you if I could
[Chorus]
But now, you are ready to win
And now, you are ready to win
And now, I am ready
