Les Vinyl - F for Effort

I heard that Rome wasn’t built in a day 

Then how come everyone is rushing to get ahead 

And if I seem to be reserved that’s just my way 

Your questions seem like you're interrogating me 

Yeah, I try 

Then again I don’t try 

I get an F for Effort 

I'll get a D next time 

I’ve heard the lemon metaphor four million times 

And I don’t stand for lemonade, don’t ask me why 

And would a beverage stand be a job that’d be desired? 

And where would I get the wood and should I try? 

Should I try 

Then again I don’t try 

I get an F for Effort 

I'll get a 65

Yeah I try

Then again I don't try

I get an F for Effort

I might as well just 

I heard that currency don't grow like leaves on trees 

Then how come my money comes and goes so seasonally 

And I wish farmers planted plants instead of thieves 

My friend pays a ton of green for greener groceries 

Yeah, she tries

Then again she don’t try 

She gets an F for Effort 

She'll plant a tree next time

Yeah she tries

Then again I don't try

I get an F for Effort

I'll get a D next time

Yeah, I try 

Then again I don’t try 

I get an F for Effort 

I'll get a 65

Yeah, I try 

Then again I don’t try 

I get an F for Effort 

I might as well just die!
