Once upon a time is how it always goes,
But I'll make it brief.
What was started out with such excitement,
Now I'd gladly end end with relief.
In what now has become a familiar motif,
That nothing is good enough for people like you,
Who have to have someone take the fall,
And something to sabotage, determined to lose it all.

Critics at their worst could never criticize
The way that you do.
No, there's no one else, I find,
To undermine or dash a hope quite like you.
And you do it so casually, too.
'Cause nothing is good enough for people like you,
who have to have someone take the fall,
And something to sabotage, determined to lose it all.

Ladies and gentlemen, here's exhibit A.
Didn't I try again? And did the effort pay?
Wouldn't a smarter man simply walk away?

It doesn't really help that you can never say
what you're looking for.
But you'll know it when you hear it,
Know it when you see it walk through the door.
So you say, so you've said many times before,
But nothing is good enough for people like you,
Who have to have someone take the fall,
And something to sabotage, determined to lose it all.

Nothing is good enough.
