I'll Never Live Up to You Lyrics

When they laid you out, on the metal table
They got the suit right, but they weren't able to erase the glare

You've been dead for 16 years, a myth suspended in amber
Reputation burnished by fear

If they would believe me, I would tell them all the truth about you
I'll never live up to you

Even Mao, he looks all right, on a 40-foot billboard
All doe-eyed, but we remember the night

Expectations were all I heard, they took me at my word
But I couldn't do what he wanted me to do

If they would believe me, I would tell them all the truth about you
I'll never live up to you
