Born to Lose
Spit Ya Teeth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Born to lose
That's what you are
Sitting there
You're going far
Take a chance
To prove yourself
Maybe someday
You'll be something

A waste of life
A waste of space
Someone punch you
In your fucking face
Knock some sense
Into you
Now you see what you must do

Born to lose
That's what you are
Sitting there
Your going far
Take a chance
To prove yourself




Maybe someday
You'll be something
