lyrics

Lost cause, that’s all you are
The bottom of the barrel, a junker of a car
Lost cause, that’s all you’ll ever be

Where do you think you’re going?
What do you think you’ll find?
Can’t you see you’re nothing special?
Can’t you feel it all the time?
Why do you even keep on trying?
What have you got to prove?
Don’t you see there’s no denying?
You were only born to lose

Lost cause, that’s all you are
The bottom of the barrel, a junker of a car
Lost cause, that’s all you’ll ever be
Lost cause, no matter what you say
A road that leads to nowhere, a job that doesn’t pay
Lost cause, that’s all they’ll ever see

You can move to other places
Pretend that everything’s just fine
But where you go it doesn’t matter
You’ll never leave your past behind
Fool yourself into believing
That you’ve become somebody new
But when you look into that mirror
There’s still a loser looking back at you

Lost cause, that’s all you are
The bottom of the barrel, a junker of a car
Lost cause, that’s all you’ll ever be
Lost cause, no matter what you say
A road that leads to nowhere, a job that doesn’t pay
Lost cause, that’s all they’ll ever see

Don’t listen to a word they say
Pissing off some people, that’s the price you pay
Remember what I’m telling you
’Cause I was once a lost cause too

Lost cause, that’s all you are
The bottom of the barrel, a junker of a car
Lost cause, that’s all you’ll ever be
Lost cause, no matter what you say
A road that leads to nowhere, a job that doesn’t pay
Lost cause, that’s all they’ll ever see

Just like me

Boy, I’m gonna tell you something
Don’t ever listen to a word they say
They’re wrong
They’re always wrong
You wanna listen to something?
Listen to your heart
That’s right
Follow your heart, boy
It ain’t ever gonna lead you astray
You got it?
Good
So go
Go on
Get outta here
