Make The Grade

Somewhere at the bottom of the ocean
I am floating past the algae
The whale bones, so pretty
But my body still didn't make the grade
Still didn't make the grade

Somewhere in the basement
I once had a good idea
But I can't find it, my mind
Is drawing blanks
To fill the page
I still won't make the grade
Still won't make the grade

I'm regaining patience
In the better half of man
And the stories we'll remember
Are from a different hand

Somewhere at the bottom of my brain
I just don't care and I don't want to
But I do, anyway, anyway, I
I still won't make the grade
Still won't make the grade

I'm regaining patience
In the better half of man
And the stories we'll remember
Are from a different hand

Somewhere at the bottom of my ocean
I am floating past the algae
The whale bones, so pretty
But my body still won't make the grade
Still won't make the grade
Still won't make the grade
Still won't make the grade
Still won't make the grade
