Face To Face: "Graded on a Curve" Lyrics

It's a waste of time 

It's a race that can't be won 

Call the whole thing off 

Well that's easier said than done 

And I try to shut it out 

And I think I've figured out 

That it makes no sense to compare what I've done 

So what do I do now that I'm alone? 

I've been building up and tearing down 

and looking for what never can be found 

So what do I do now that I'm alone? 

God I tried so hard to get here 

but still I'm averaged out 

Graded on a curve 

Put the blinders on and believe in someone else 

You're not what they want that's exactly what they sell 

And it's all been preordained but it's never quite the same 

Once you've figured out that it makes no sense 

And I don't care if I'm the one who makes mistakes 

And I don't care how long this is going to take 

Does it really matter how you played the game 

when you were never really in it
