a  moment  of  silence  please  for  those  that  never  get  the  chance  /  they  show  up  to  the  party  but  they’re  never  asked  to  dance  /  the  losers  the  liars  the  bastards  the  thieves  /  the  cynicists,  the  pessimists  and  those  that  don’t  believe  in  nothing  ///  i  never  met  a  loser  that  i  didn’t  see  eye  to  eye  with,  i  declare  /    i  stare  into  your  eyes  /    but  you  look  right  past  me  into  the  air  /  what’s  it  like  to  stand  in  your  shoes?  /  to  have  never  felt  the  belt  of  somebody’s  abuse?  /  i  take  the  bottle  and  i  tip  it  to  all  my  heroes  that  have  passed  /  alas,  you  have  left  us  but  your  stories  they  will  last  /  uninspired  by  the  recruiting  call  /  independent  we  stand  /  independent  we  fall  ///  so  tell  me:  how  long  do  you  think  you  can  go  before  you  lose  it  all?  /  before  they  call  your  bluff  and  watch  you  fall?  /  i  don’t  know  but  i’d  like  to  think  i  had  control  /  at  some  point  but  i  let  it  go  and  lost  my  soul  /  sit  tight  but  the  revolution’s  years  away  /  i’m  losing  fa

ith  and  i’m  running  low  on  things  to  say  /  so  i  guess  i  have  no  choice  but  to  regurgitate  /  the  tired  anthem  of  a  loser  and  a  hypocrite  /  oh!  to  have  died  that  night  i  realized  it  wouldn’t  last!  /  our  days  were  numbered  and  the  reaper  tipped  the  hourglass  /  the  final  mayday  of  our  sinking  ship  had  come  and  passed  /  oh!  to  the  west,  you  don’t  know  what  it  is  you’re  running  from  /  and  everybody’s  laughing  loud  /  your  last  chance  to  make  your  mother  and  your  father  proud  ///  they  said  "a  pox  /  upon  your  house  /  upon  your  family  and  everyone  you  ever  knew  /  and  everyone  you’ll  ever  meet"  /  i  bet  they  think  we  wish  we  joined  when  we  could  /  but  we  do  what  we  want  we  don’t  do  what  we  should  /    now  everybody’s  laughing  because  they’re  thinking  they’re  in  on  something  i  don’t  get  /  don’t  forget  /    i  connect  and  i  read  every  word  you  said  /  like  a  child  who  believes  he  was  wronged  /  if  you  hate  me  so  much  then  stop  singing  my  songs
