Social Distortion - Born To Lose lyrics

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 cla**, My daddy spanked my bare a**, 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.
