I fucked up today, I fucked up before
I fucked up so much I can't keep track anymore
I fucked up on girls, I fucked up this song
I fucked up on my sister, my dad, and my mom
I fucked up on everyone, I fucked up on me
I fucked up with money, and man, nothing is free
I fucked up on Letterman, I fucked up on stage
I fucked up on time and I fucked up too late
But now, I am ready to win
I stand on a river, I stand on a stage
Hoping for glory, or maybe today
Because 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
'Cause learning is trying and trying is hard
When it feels like falling's going to tear you apart
But now, I am ready to win
Yeah now, I am ready
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 fuckups have ended
Tell them they're free from whatever happened
From all of the haters who need someone to slap them
Just go and fuck up, fuck up fucking up
Nothing but fucking up, never e-fucking-nough
And then you'll be strong, and then you'll be fearless
Because you've done it all and your tear ducts are tearless
And then you'll remember, there's a fire in your heart
A dream in your head, permission to start
And from out of the silence you will hear your voice
Like a big fucking 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
Are you ready?
Ready to win
♪
Because everyone's weak, and everyone's drunk
And everyone's smart but usually wrong
And Rome wasn't built on a fucking cliché
And I love you all in the best fucking way
Fuck up like a pro, fuck 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 fuck up for you if I could
But now, you are ready to win
And now, you are ready to win
And now, I am ready
