( Screw-up song lyrics )
EVERYBODY SCREWS UP SOMETIME
Copyright © 2006 - mickterry.com

CHORUS:
Ev'rybody screws up sometime.
Ev'rybody makes a mistake.
Ev'ry once in a while we get downtime.
Ev'rybody has a bad day.

1: But not you. Oh, no.
With you, it's always "What does it matter?"
You've become such a walking disaster
and you couldn't care what it all cost.
But not you. Oh, yes.
With you it's ev'ry day, ev'ry hour-.
You've been blessed with a virtual shower
of ineptitude, ign'rance and sloth.
CHORUS:

2: But not you. Oh, no.
With you, it's like a well with no capping.
You're an earthquake just waiting to happen,
a tornado about to let go.
But not you. Oh, yes.
With you, we've got perpetual problems.
I confess: not a clue how to solve them.
You're a time- bomb set to explode.
CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
How'd you like to be on the receiving end
of all your mistakes?
Aren't you glad you're sedated
so you can't hear your surgeon go, "Oops!"?
Where'd you like to be when you discover
all the faults your lawyer made?
Aren't you glad you're not on the shuttle
when you hear somebody's goofed?
CHORUS:   ( x2 )

CODA:
There's a margin for error unacceptable here.
There's a margin for error that's regrettable here.
