Lyrics

Lost Cause

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.

I used to be a poor man

But now I'm really broke

Used to be a lemon

Now I'm an artichoke

I used to be resourceful

Used to really care

I used to be on the fast track

Now I'm goin' nowhere

'Cause I'm a loser, I'm a failure

I've sunk lower than a thief

I'm a dark cloud passing over

I guess you just don't care about breakin' laws

When you're a lost cause

I used to be a stranger

But now I'm really strange

They won't get me now or later

'Cause I'm outta their range

I'm sick, I got a fever

Or maybe I'm just sick

Go ahead and cut me

But just make it quick

'Cause I'm a loser, I'm a failure

I've sunk lower than a thief

If you got one passing over

Then I don't ever hear too much applause

'Cause I'm a lost cause

Mirror mirror inside my mind

Blow these bad thoughts away

I sure would like to feel mostly blind today

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

I used to be a poor man

But now I'm really broke

I used to be the punchline

Now I'm everyone's joke

The truth is I've outcasted myself all along

But that's all right at least I get to sing this song

I'm a loser, I'm a failure

I've sunk lower than a thief

I'm a dark cloud passing over

I'm a lost cause, I'm a failure

I've sunk lower than a thief

I'm a dark cloud passing over

I'm a lost cause

I'm a lost cause

I'm a lost cause

I'm a lost cause
