Losers - Napalm Death

A will to win big

Streaked tears of elation

Triumph, succeed at all coasts

Because no one loves a loser

No one loves a loser

But who shall endure

The crippling pain of defeat?

With the über-beings gone

See the begging bowls of losers

No one loves a loser

No one loves a loser

Urging home the best of the best

Golden reward a third-world debt

That’s the trouble

Short-term vision, glitz and pomp

Achievement?

What achievements?

A finish line where the crippled foot the cost

No one loves a loser

Souls discarded to build a dream

Dust in the lungs of bristling machines

Jingoistic

Natural order resumed and on show

Paymasters demand

Lavish diversions to sweeten the show

No one loves a loser

Souls discarded to build a dream

Dust in the lungs of bristling machines

The victory is fleeting, the endurance long — Losers

If it’s not bombs, it’s welfare-stripping, spoils of war — Losers

Souls discarded…

Souls discarded to build a dream

A generation pays, in full for what?

— Losers

A re-filling of a pit so bottomless — Losers

Souls discarded…

Souls discarded to build a dream

Losers!
