To Lose the War

歌詞

The captain of the football team Has got the prom queen but he's got no self esteem And he hides beneath the sheets While he cries himself to sleep And that prom queen's got her own concerns yeah The bottle's dry but still she never learns And so she fills it up again And she drinks to broken men And she's overboard Surrendered and ignored So this is how it feels to lose the war The baseball man is taking shots in his ass While the skater wins by cracking kneecaps And we all keep tuning in As if somebody's gonna win Superman is just another sham yeah Clark works nights at the Tinker's Damn Selling porno mags to dirty men So he can pay the rent in his rat trap pigpen And he's overboard Surrendered and ignored So this is how it feels to lose the war Everybody's floating on their own decrepit boat And everybody's fighting just to keep it all afloat oh oh oh The president's just another man Just pushing buttons with a half-baked plan Like a stoner with a PS2 And he's playing games all afternoon And he's just trying to beat his daddy's score But it's a different time, and it's a different war And he thinks this game is wearing thin You need a faster thumb if you are gonna win And he's overboard Surrendered and ignored So this is how it feels to lose it And we were strong before Now we're naked on the floor So this is how it feels to lose the war
