Perfect isn't good enough

Your best will never do

You're so much smarter

Than your mother and me

So we expect more

Than you can ever be

Perfect isn't good enough

Your best will never do

You stupid fuck

You're out of luck

And we have no love for you

Perfect isn't good enough

Your best will never do

You should have tried harder

You should have been smarter

You should always know just what to do

Be doctor

Be a lawyer

Take care of me in my old age

Don't have a life

Let us pick your wife

We expect you to be perfect

But incapable of love

An ugly duckling

To be put down

Perfect isn't good enough

Your best will never do

Don't think for yourself

We never trusted you
