The Fallen Aristocracy

I did my best but knew I would fail
My hopeless luck will always prevail
Please tell me, what should I do?
Don't laugh, it could have been you

Tragically, you always call me
A sad excuse for someone I need
I love your kind words pointing my way,
Your kind words pointing my way
Pointless brutality
No more resistance from me

Savagely but gracefully,
you keep on tormenting me
There is no chance and there's no hope
I'll get above this slippery slope
And I don't know if this will end
It's never going to end, no
