Prophets talk about the end of the world They say it's gonna be soon But every end that's gonna get you down babe Is gonna get me down too We were born to lose When I was a kid I thought the world looked so strange From my point of view I never thought there was anybody like me But now I know it ain't true We were born to lose And some of us were born to play the blues I met a girl that I could love all my life She makes me feel so good I try to tell her all the things that make her smile To make her feel good too But we were born to lose We're all gonna die now
