Song for Losers
I'm a pretty good guy—I scrub behind my ears each morning,And I floss every night.I care about the environment—Nowadays people seem to admire that—And yet,It's so hard to find a friend…If you don't drink,If you don't smoke,If you don't wanna pokeEverything with a pulse,You're a loser,A disaster,They're perpetually telling you to grow up faster.Well, if that's what it takes to be cool,Someone needs to change the rules.I'm impossibly kind—I'll never ever forget your birthday,And I'll always care what's on your mind.I'll go with you to the fair—And maybe if we're lucky I can win you a bear—So whereSongtexteIs someone when I need someone there?If you don't drink,If you don't smoke,If you don't wanna pokeEverything with a pulse,You're a loser,A disaster,They're perpetually telling you to grow up faster.Well, if that's what it takes to be cool,Someone needs to change the rules.I am a vegan,And I ride my bicycle whenever I can.I've got a feeling I could save the world—If I had someone to help me…Outside on every streetI pass a multitude of peopleThat I'd never wanna meet—As they stagger to a place where they'll carouse all night,I just wanna cry and yell at them with all my might,I just wanna stop and tell them that it's not okayFor them to fritter every second of their life away like that!I wanna say, hey! Why can't you see?You don't know what a party isTill you've hung out with me…We can dance through the puddles in the empty streetsWe can warm up and cuddle in between the sheetsWe can make popcorn on the stoveWe can watch X-menParts one, two, and/or three…If you don't drink,If you don't smoke,If you don't wanna pokeEverything with a pulse,You're a loser,A disaster,They're perpetually telling you to grow up faster.Well, if that's what it takes to be cool,Someone needs to change the rules,Send me back to elementary schoolSo I can play all day in my kiddy pool,Never have to worry about how buff I'm not,Never have to worry about how tough I'm not, andMaybe I won't even notice whether I am loved or not—I dunno.I dunno,I dunno…I don't know what to do.I'm in a quandaryIt's clear I need somebodyBut I cannot seem to find out who…And if they're anything like me,It's likely that this person would be tricky to see,So if you do,Would you please refer them to me?‘Cause I don't drink…And I don't smoke…But I could brighten upYour day with a joke—If you let me…Once you've met me,Maybe I can make it so you never want to forget me…Maybe we could change the rules.
