King of the Losers Songtext

von Matt the Electrician

Wanna be able to identify the trees in my backyard.
I don't wanna have to take any college classes to do it
'Cause that's too much work.
Don't believe anything is free.
I don't make enough money to buy... a better me.

Just tell me my pessimism is a self-fulfilling prophecy
'Cause even the critics won't take the time to criticise me.
Someone's gotta do what I say, so I'll take one for the team.
I'll make a martyr out of me if it's the last thing I'll dream.
I'll dream.

Maybe king of the losers is what I'm supposed to be.
I don't have time for you right now
'Cause I'm feeling sorry for me.
I thought I was up-and-coming
Goin' down the drain.
Maybe king of the losers, no one but me to blame.

I pitched a no-hitter when I was just ten years old,
Like Charlie Brown made a deal with the devil one day
In exchange for his cartoon soul.
Sometimes I let the sun shine in.
Sometimes even the king of the losers gets to win.
I get to win.

Maybe king of the losers is what I'm supposed to be.
I don't have time for you right now
'Cause I'm feeling sorry for me.
I thought I was up-and-coming
Goin' down the drain.
Maybe king of the losers, no one but me to blame.

Sometimes people call me the king of the losers,
Yeeeaaah.
