Parable

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.

Here's the story of a poor loser

From the wrong side of the street

Yes, he's a born loser

It's the world he's trying to beat

And though he once tried to cross over

All he met there was defeat

And it's the story of a bid winner

Who'll rub you out and rub it in

Yes, and he won't let you forget it

He's gonna get right under your skin

I bet you anything he don't come out

The same door he went in

Some people say it's no win or lose

But how you play the game

It don't apply when stakes are high

And when these tow are playing

So let's go back now to this poor loser

He's lying on his bed

He's gotta big chip on his shoulder

He's got a light bulb over his head

And he thinks: what if that bad winner

Were to have a little accident
