Male Voice: It´s not bad to have goals per se when your
teacher, coach, and counselor ask.
Cold hard reality can get in your way
when you´re really not up to the task.
Well you´ve been scheming and spying and screaming and crying,
but you know there´s still something that you´re still not trying.
Male and Female Voice: Give Up!
Male Voice: You´ve been trying to sell this so long
Even though there´s no one out there buying.
Male and Female Voice: Give Up!
Male Voice: I know, you´re tired of the same old song,
But it´s not really failing if you´re not even trying.
Male and Female Voice: Give Up!

Male and Female Voice: Doo-Doo-Doo-Doo-Doot-Doo-Doo

Male Voice: It´s like you´re banging your head against the same old wall,
baby all you got to show is a bruise,
(All you got show is a bruise)
Well it´s a crazy thing to do to just keep on repeating,
all these actions that will only lead to cranial bleeding.

Male and Female Voice: Give Up!
Male Voice: It´s time for you to throw in the towel, capitulate and raise the white flag.
Male and Female Voice: Give Up!
Male Voice: And don´t be bitter just because you´re a quitter, you can even hold up your head up and brag.
That´s right, you gave up.
She gave up! She gave up!
