Seems like a lousy song to have as a theme for your life, but I am quite happy with it and even proud of it. I am not sure if that makes sense to you.
John Cash! I just heard this one today and damn it is so good.
Motorhead! Not as good as the other three but still pretty cool especially if you like Lemmy.
Social Distortion! This one is so awesome! Punk rock!
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!
And my favorite of all far, Johnny Thunders! In other words, my alter ego. That’s photo of me in the video in back of the song. The original proto-punk rockers. Punkers before there was even punk rock. The whole punk rock movement grew directly out of bands like this.
