lyrics

Born to Lose

Take the blue lift to the first floor
To the right you’ll see a place to sit
Everybody else has been waiting fifty years or more
But you’re the first to go through with it

Do you know what you’re here for?
Can you tell us what it’s called?
So you say you’ve had this done to you before?
But you’re not even that old?

Oh you’re much too young for this to happen to you
You poor, poor thing, we hope you make it through
This kind of thing doesn’t pick and choose
You might be born with it
But baby that don’t mean that you’re born to lose

Expect a mood shift and so much more
Feel the fight come into your fists
You know everybody else has their own flaws
Sometimes we’ve just gotta put up with it

You might not come out the other end
Not in the way that you hope to
We’re going to do everything we can
We’re going to do what’s best for you

Oh you’re much too young for this to happen to you
You poor, poor thing, we hope you make it through
This kind of thing doesn’t pick and choose
You might be born with it
But baby that don’t mean that you’re born to lose

You are loved
You’re cared for
So no matter what happens today
You will have a hand to hold
An ear for anything you have to say

Oh you’re much too young for this to happen to you
You poor, poor thing, we hope you make it through
This kind of thing doesn’t pick and choose
You might be born with it
But baby that don’t mean that you’re born to lose

We will go through this again
If we find out we have to
We can’t tell you when this will end
But we hope it’s sometime soon

I appreciate a song named John Candy that is actually about the actor and name-checks Summer Rental. All the other songs are good too. Great EP from a great band! TFid
