Losers 2

(专辑： Brave Faces Everyone - 2020)

Staring like a stranger from the dirt field
Across from my childhood home
Noticed how out of place I looked there
It's a place I can't afford
When my family lost it back in '08
We swore it was just a setback
And all we needed was to graduate
And keep ignoring facts

"Don't you know you were born to die poor man?
Don't you know that you're gonna do yourself in?
And you'll always wake up tired
Because there's nowhere we go from here."

Stuck working at that third job driving
Well-meaning moms to protests for minimum wage
Still depressed. Still living for the weekend
Still terrified to die at your age
No cancer. No crash. It better all go as planned
Or one day soon you're not gonna get by
Know damn well there ain't a promised land
The cost of living means the cost to stay alive

"Don't you know you were born to die poor man?
Don't you know that you're gonna do yourself in?
And you'll always wake up tired
Because there's nowhere we go from here."

They say that these are our exciting days
At least until they ask our age
Now I'm just a walking tragic ending
Fuck, I don't want to be the last one standing

So I'm leaving the city
Maybe the country
Maybe the Earth
Gotta find a place of my own
Where the fuck ups aren't cops
Patrolling neighborhoods they're afraid of
And the rest of us won't burn out
Displacing locals from neighborhoods we're afraid of
Know if we weren't bailed out
Every time by our parents we'd be dead
What's gonna happen when they're dead?

"Don't you know you were born to die poor man?
Don't you know that you're gonna do yourself in?
And you'll always wake up tired
Because there's nowhere we go from here."

They say that these are our exciting days
At least until they ask our age
Now I'm just a walking tragic ending
Fuck, I don't want to be the last one standing
