I was told by my Grandma

Many years ago, I was just a child

"Boy, go and grow as an honest man

Look on what you've done with pride!"



The years have passed and I'm a normal lad

I won't be named in school treatises

But looking back to what I've done

Yes, there's a glimpse of pride!



The loser's ball

(Dance with me to the sound of the fiddle)

For the ones who fall

(Like a cloudless sky reflected in a billow)

Learn a new step for each new Babylon

(Build the city of lies and despair)



If you have time send a message

To every form of human life

"Hey out there if someone listens

This way we won't survive!"



We'll be drawn in arrogance

Hanged by the noose of greed

A new religion of violence

A bible of bad deeds



The loser's ball

(Dance with me to the sound of the fiddle)

For the ones who fall

(Like a cloudless sky reflected in a billow)

Learn a new step for each new Babylon

(Build the city of lies lust despair)
