The art of losing / American Hi-Fi

Last call now I'm outta time
And I don't got no valentine
Singled out, now I stand alone
The underdog in a modern world
Suburbia is hot tonight
But nothing seems to feel alright
I don't want your sympathy
I just need a little therapy
At least that's what they say to me

Hey ho let's go
I'm gonna start a riot
You don't want to fight it
One two fuck you
Don't tell me what to do
I don't want to be like you
Can't you see it's killing me
I'm my own worst enemy
Knock me down I'll keep on moving
It's the art of losing

Fit the mold and do what you're told
Get a job and start growing old
9 to 5 can make your dreams come true
But I don't want to be like you
I'm not cool and I'll never be
I break the rules and I guarantee
I don't want your sympathy
I just need a little therapy
At least that's what they say to me

Hey ho let's go
I'm gonna start a riot
You don't want to fight it
One two fuck you
Don't tell me what to do
I don't want to be like you
Can't you see it's killing me
I'm my own worst enemy
Knock me down I'll keep on moving
It's the art of losing

You call me a loser
Say I'm just a user
But I'll just keep on moving
Cause that's the art of losing

Hey ho let's go
I'm gonna start a riot
You don't want to fight it
One two fuck you
Don't tell me what to do
I don't want to be like you
Can't you see it's killing me
I'm my own worst enemy
Knock me down I'll keep on moving
It's the art of losing

Wahhhooo (It's the art of losing)
Wahhhooo (It's the art of losing)

We're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids in America
We're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids in America

最後の電話のあと、俺はいなくなるだろう
結局何も手に入らなかったな
グループを抜け、今やひとりだ
世界へと投げ出された負け犬さ
なにやら郊外じゃ盛り上がってるけど
良さそうなことなんて1つもありゃしない
同情なんてしないでくれ
「君にはちょっと休息が必要なだけなんだ」
こういう風にあいつらは俺に言うんだ

※よし、大騒ぎの始まりだ
お前はあいつらに負けて悔しくないっていうのかい？
俺に何も言わないでくれ
お前らみたいになりたくないんだ
こっちをみるな、死にたくなる
最悪の敵は自分自身なんだ
やられてももがき続けるさ
だってそれが負けの美学ってもんだろ？

お前は型にはまったことしか言わないな
「仕事をして、人生を生きるんだ
9時5時の仕事はお前の夢を叶えられるんだ」
だけど俺はあんたみたいなつまんないニンゲンになりたくないんだ
俺はクールじゃないけど、そんな風にはならない
ルールをぶっ壊してでも俺は断言するよ
同情なんて必要ないし、休息も必要ない
たとえなんて言われてもな

※

お前は俺を負け犬って呼ぶだろうな
ただ人生を無駄にしてるって
だから俺はもがき続けるよ
だってそれが負けの美学だから

※

俺たちはガキなんだ
