John Humphrey - Buckit Lyrics

You poured your heart into
That precious little play
Nurtured it with fairy dust
In hopes of Broadway
On opening night
It fell flat on its face
Everybody laughed
You ran out in disgrace
It's the bottom and you've struck it
There's no way you can unstuck it
Before you kick the bucket just say Buckit!
You got back to the novel
Finished at last
Sent it off to the publishers
Everyone passed
But Someday you'll show them
You were light years ahead
Too bad it won't happen
Till long after you're dead
It's the bottom and you've struck it
There's no way you can unstuck it
Before you kick the bucket just say Buckit!
Buckit! When you're at your wit's end
Buckit! When you're your only friend
Buckit! When you're all out of luck
Let those problems roll right off your back
Like water off a duck
You joined a band
To take out your aggressions
Playin' loud music
Helped with your depression
Till some record exec
Came along with his spiel
Said lose the old guy on bass
And you guys got a deal
It's the bottom and you've struck it
There's no way you can unstuck it
Before you kick the bucket just say Buckit!
Buckit! When you're at your wit's end
Buckit! When you're your only friend
Buckit! When you're all out of luck
Let those problems roll right off your back
Like water off a duck
Proudly flip the bird
And tell them you don't give a cluck
Cs' you know...
Success is just the icing on a failure cake
Giving up right now would be a big mistake
You just baked another layer
That's what it takes to be a player
You've got heart and that's what counts
Though you're down to your last ounce
Sometimes you've got to wonder who's pulling the strings
Just remember it ain't over till the fat lady sings
You signed up for art school
Time to go pro
The class was excited
For the big year end show
Getting out of the cab
A dog peed on your painting
But the critics all loved it
And that's the main thing
It's called luck and now you've struck it
You were just about to chuck it
Tell the haters where to tuck it and say Buckit!
