[The Loser - 1980/81, 2026] [Original Music by Phil Andrews] [Original Lyrics by Neil R. Paddock] [Arrangement by Suno] [Lyrics © 1980–2026 Neil R. Paddock. All rights reserved.] [Artwork generated with ChatGPT/Suno] [Intro] [Verse 1] There stands a man With his head in his hands He's okay He walks down To the labour exchange each day He can't think what tomorrow may bring You'd better keep out of his way Because that man walks hand in hand with fear... [Verse 2] He's lost all his friends So he's moving again He's alright He left town in a hurry late last night Not content to be so unwanted He's not gonna make a fuss. He's in the dark and he needs a spell of light... [Chorus] And he asks himself: Why am I a loser? Why does it hurt so bad? I've been so many places All the things I never had... Why am I the loser In all the things I do? People love to hate me And they try to hurt me too [Verse 3] He went to a show As he started to go He felt sad A girl saw this guy Looked him straight in the eye She felt bad [He'd been had] Not prepared to appear too foolish He looked and then looked away He never looked back So he never could see her tears... [Chorus] And he asks himself: Why am I a loser? Why does it hurt so bad? I've been so many places All the things I never had Why am I the loser In all the things I do? People love to hate me And they try to hurt me too... [Verse 4 - 2026] He talked to a shrink As he'd started to drink To excess So hung up By his heady need for success Far too glum So becoming numb Was his way of dealing with pain But he knew his life was slipping down the drain... [Epilogue - 2026] And on he goes Day by day Same old way On and on Same old story Same old song... He won't have long... [Outro] [End]
