Loser On The Ropes

Well, look who showed up tonight in bells
If it isn't Lucifer and his pals from Hell
But it's true
I'm not scared of you

There's a riot on the west side, dear
There's a cry that you can hear from here
And on the news
Says I'm not scared of you

And much later in the evening
I was looking for the clock
'Cause your friends are back in college
They just talk and talk and talk and talk
And never fucking stop

And their husbands are all cops
But you can tell those kids to screw
Say I'm not scared of you

Got in trouble so I took a loan
Now the bank won't ever leave me alone
They say they're coming in
But I'm not scared of them

So if you're feeling shaky
Might I suggest you sitting out
I've got some bad news, baby
And I'm feeling kinda down and down and down and down we go

Like a loser on the ropes
'Cause this world will drive you crazy
But where else can you go?

Now there's a fire in the countryside
There's a song stuck in my tooth
You know it's true
Nothing sings quite like the truth

And if someday I've had enough to say
Then I'll just grab my things and walk away
But 'til then I'll stand accused
And I'm not scared of you

'Cause of the two things I have learned in life
While staring at my shoes
You either learn to love the cosmic lie
Or you learn to love the blues
I've chosen up my side

Now it's your turn to choose
You just look 'em in the eye
Say I'm not scared of you
I'm not scared of you
