Born To Lose lyrics

Artist  : Social Distortion 
Song : Born To Lose
 
I was brought in this world 1962,

I didn't have much choice you see.

But by the time I was eight,

I could tell it was too late,

I was already barking up the wrong tree.

When I was in school you thought I was a fool,


In trouble,

Breaking all the rules.

I was absent from class, 

My daddy spanked my bare ass,

But I sure tried hard to be cool.

chorus:

Born to lose, was what they said,

You know I was better off dead.

Born to lose, you're just bad news,

You don't get a second chance.

It was a hot summer night in mid July,

A hangover and a black eye.

Your momma said I was a loser,

A dead end cruiser, And deep inside I know that
she was right.

chorus:

Born to lose, was what they said,

You know I was better off dead.

Born to lose, you're just bad news,

You don't get a second chance.

I tried to get myself a job

Because that's the way that

Things are, wanna have nice

Things and go far. Well I'm sorry

Honey, I ain't got much money

But I can sure play this here old

Guitar. As the years went on, I

Made a few mistakes it was a

Troublebound for this young

Man. The police knockin' at my

Door, "Well he don't live here no

More, and he's playin' in a rock 'n'

Roll band."

chorus:

Born to lose, was what they said,

You know I was better off dead.

Born to lose, you're just bad news,

You don't get a second chance.
