Lyrics

LOSERTOWN

It used to look bleak
Now it?s colorful
This low-rent life
Is gettin? so fashionable
Yeah, but I was on the floor before
These new suburban social divers
Came along and cluttered up the scene
And I was going nowhere
Back when nowhere wasn?t such a place to be

And if it?s so cool
To be so down
Then you can rent my space
And take my place here in losertown

Yeah, I been here a while now
But it ain?t like I planned it
Some people run from the hell they come from
While other people just line up and demand it
So before you and tell your whole damned story
?bout the way they made you
everything you?re never gonna be
just hang around and bum some change
and when you?ve got enough get back to me

CHORUS

Just look around, there?s people here with kids
And how they gonna feed ?em?
And other people on the skids
?cause once the war was over
who needs em??
yeah, but these are people tryin?, really tryin?
trying to get out of this place
and you?re just trying to shock me
with your attitude of nothing
and those holes in your face

CHORUS

And if it?s so chic just to jump off your feet
And lie there on the ground
Well, knock yourself out but it?s a shame to be proud
Of this losertown
