Depeche Mode - Fail Lyrics

People, do we call this trying?
We're hopeless, forget the denying
Our souls are corrupt
Our minds are messed up
Our consciences, bankrupt
Oh, we're f*cked

People, what are we thinking?
It's shameful, our standards are sinking
We're barely hanging on
Our spirit has gone
And once where it shone
I hear a lonesome song

People, how are we coping?
It's futile to even start hoping
That justice will prevail
That truth will tip the scales
Our dignity has sailed
Oh, we've failed
