Ballad of a Rock 'N' Roll Loser Lyrics

From the bars of Wisconsin
To the clip joints of L.A.
I've been killing time
While trying to make this guitar gain
There've been people
Who thrown bottles
There've been people
Who thrown flowers
There've been people
Who just threw open their heart


Oh but rock 'n' roll's the only way
To tell my story
I'm a rock 'n' rolling loser till the end
Oh rock 'n' roll's the only way
To tell my story
I'm a rock 'n' rolling loser till the end

There've been clowns
There've been jokers
Uplitter prostitutes and queers
We slowly dived
Together through the years

I've been turned out, turned on
Turned around, turned down
I've been built up, beat out
Set up, drinking my pot

All the things that you see
All the sounds that you hear
They seem to have no meaning
When you're looking
Through a glass of beer

And you're tired, twisted up inside
You feel you don't belong
And the buzzman shouts
"Get up there son, sing one more song"

Well rock 'n' roll's the only way
To tell my story
I'm a rock 'n' rolling loser till the end
Yeah and rock 'n' roll's the only way
To tell my story
I'm a rock 'n' rolling loser till the end
