A will to win big
Streaked tears of elation
Triumph, succeed at all costs
Because no one loves a loser
No one loves a loser
But who shall endure
The crippling pain of defeat?
With the über-beings gone
See the begging bowls of losers
No one loves a loser
No one loves a loser
Urging home the best of the best
Golden reward a third-world debt
That's the trouble
Short-term vision, glitz and pomp
Achievement? What achievements?
A finish line where the crippled foot the cost
No one loves a loser
Souls discarded to build a dream
Dust in the lungs of bristling machines
Jingoistic
Natural order resumed and on show
Paymasters demand
Lavish diversions to sweeten the show
No one loves a loser
Souls discarded to build a dream
Dust in the lungs of bristling machines
The victory is fleeting, the endurance long - Losers
If it's not bombs, it's welfare-stripping, spoils of war - Losers
Souls discarded...
Souls discarded to build a dream
A generation pays, in full for what? - Losers
A re-filling of a pit so bottomless - Losers
Souls discarded...
Souls discarded to build a dream
Losers!
