about

Initially this was going to be the title of the album but it was changed to the Foxtrot before being pressed. The song is about never giving up on your goals against whatever odds are presented.

lyrics

Face your fears. Face them straight head on into the great beyond and we’ll smash them into submission. Don’t let “nothing” chase your dreams away, once they start running there is nothing on Earth that will catch ‘em. And don’t you think someday you’re bound to get something right? Your chances will be much higher if you keep trying and trying, trying and trying, trying and trying, trying and trying, trying and trying…you’re bound to get something right. You’re bound to get something right.

Who would you choose to be our greatest son, our golden champion and to lift us from this depression? I’d say no one but if there is such a man I’d gladly shake his hand and say thank you, but no thank you. ‘Cause don’t you think someday we’re bound to get something right? Our chances will be much higher if we keep trying and trying, trying and trying, trying and trying, trying and trying, trying and trying…we’re bound to get something right. We’re bound to get something right.

No, you’re not alone. Whoever told you so was speaking in tongues and was jealous. No, we’re not on our own. We’re all riding together to the silver shores of heaven.
