Back to the drawing board
Is what the say
You screwed up
So what, what the hay
Back to the drawing board

You try again
And fail once more
If you want to win
Go back to the drawing board

But they don’t understand
They just can’t see
The only way to find the goal
Is to first find me

But yet again
They simply say
Back to the drawing board
Another day

Back to the drawing board
But this I ask
What do you do?
When there is no room left
