... A group of tech billionaires and others is hoping to get residents in Northern California's Solano County to approve what backers hope amounts to a new city.

Lyrics excerpt...

...
Why have I always been a failure?
Why have I always been a failure?
Why have I always been a failure?
What can the reason be?

Talking to myself at stations
Slipping in the pouring rain
Ripped my new shirt
Pocket with a hole and
Chasing all the coins
Rolling down the drain
Everything you said was hazy
You called me sad, lost and lazy
Scratched my records and slapped my face
You left no clue
I'm blue

(I'm blue)

Why have I always been a failure?
Why have I always been a failure?
Why have I always been a failure?
What can the reason be?
