This Game And Losers

you're dancin' with the big boys

you're skimming the rails

good at making the noises

and filling their sails

you don't know the damage

till the bills in the mail

you're finished, you're foolish

you've failed

they'll burn you at the stake

before you react

it's your fatal mistake

used your lives like a cat

surrounded by losers

to make you feel better

second guessing choosers

right down to the letter

consumed by the booze

a one-time go getter

you're finished, you're foolish

you've failed

Hangin on by a thread

by your fingernails

got it in your head

you can handle yourself

you beg and you hope

but you can't get a grip

caught on this slippery slope

biting your teeth at the bit

hangin on to this rope

burning the fray at both ends

you're finished, you're foolish

you've failed
