Lyrics
The Key Losers
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh darkness makes them cringe
Perhaps caught
Respectable impeccable
Not taught
The key losers
Not to trust an instinct
Blame them
No wait don't tame them
Chorus: They will let you down every time
The key losers
repeat chorus
In the clutch
Twice as much
In the long run
Final gun
Down the stretch we couldn't catch
The part-time players
The scrubs
Consistently choking
The roach coach is smoking
Chorus x3
