a moment of silence please for those that never get the chance / they show up to the party but they’re never asked to dance / the losers the liars the bastards the thieves / the cynicists, the pessimists and those that don’t believe in nothing /// i never met a loser that i didn’t see eye to eye with, i declare / i stare into your eyes / but you look right past me into the air / what’s it like to stand in your shoes? / to have never felt the belt of somebody’s abuse? / i take the bottle and i tip it to all my heroes that have passed / alas, you have left us but your stories they will last / uninspired by the recruiting call / independent we stand / independent we fall /// so tell me: how long do you think you can go before you lose it all? / before they call your bluff and watch you fall? / i don’t know but i’d like to think i had control / at some point but i let it go and lost my soul / sit tight but the revolution’s years away / i’m losing fa
ith and i’m running low on things to say / so i guess i have no choice but to regurgitate / the tired anthem of a loser and a hypocrite / oh! to have died that night i realized it wouldn’t last! / our days were numbered and the reaper tipped the hourglass / the final mayday of our sinking ship had come and passed / oh! to the west, you don’t know what it is you’re running from / and everybody’s laughing loud / your last chance to make your mother and your father proud /// they said "a pox / upon your house / upon your family and everyone you ever knew / and everyone you’ll ever meet" / i bet they think we wish we joined when we could / but we do what we want we don’t do what we should / now everybody’s laughing because they’re thinking they’re in on something i don’t get / don’t forget / i connect and i read every word you said / like a child who believes he was wronged / if you hate me so much then stop singing my songs
