My girlfriend went and cheated on some other guy
He chased me down and punched me in the eye
I somehow lost my job the very next day
My car got repoed 'cause I had nothing to pay

'Cause I was born to lose
I went and payed my dues
But it didn't mean a thing
'Cause luck had nothing to bring
I seem to get used
I couldn't pay my rent
I tried to find a job
But out the door I was sent
'Cause I was born to lose
Born to lose (3)

I never went to college 'cause I'm nobody's fool
I gained enough knowledge just by sitting in school
My landlord chased me down, he started to shout
You good for nothing leech, just get the fuck out

'Cause I was born to lose
I went and payed my dues
But it didn't mean a thing
'Cause luck had nothing to bring
I seem to get used
I couldn't pay my rent
I tried to find a job
But out the door I was sent
'Cause I was born to lose
Born to lose (3)
Yeah

I've been an alcoholic for the last five years
My family's so fed up they won't even shed a tear
I look at where I'm going
I look at where I've been
The only thing I think of is the final deadly sin

'Cause I was born to lose
I went and payed my dues
But it didn't mean a thing
'Cause luck had nothing to bring
I seem to get used
I couldn't pay my rent
I tried to find a job
But out the door I was sent
'Cause I was born to lose
