Dag Nasty

We have tried and failed
We have stumbled and fallen
We have tried a new taste
and we spit it back out
We have taken a left turn
when we meant to turn right
We lost sight of our origins
but our past never lost sight of us
lost sight of us
It's not emulation - 'cause that's not this hard
Not imitation - 'cause that won't take you far
Not digression - 'cause I'm falling straight up
It is progression - I'm not afraid to stand up
I don't know what I expected
but I expected it to be great
I said I'm trying my hardest
but he didn't like the tape
Take a look at what you're doing
