Latchkey Kids Lyrics
Back to songs page...
"Agony of Defeat" really isn't about winning or losing, but the moral comes out that the "way you play the game" or do anything else in your life, is really what matters. This song and "The Problem with Stop Signs" were first performed at the first show, and were written the week of that show. I had to teach the band the songs about a half an hour before we got on, but they turned out well.
Do you think you're someone better than me?
I don't want to have to put up with this grief
I don't think you can control me
I know somehow I will be set free
The thrill of victory was never with me
And I'll always have to live with the agony of defeat
But I run and hide and I run and hide cuz I'm afraid
Of living all the past mistakes that I have made
The thrill of victory was never with me
And I'll always have to live with the agony of defeat
Let it go! (4x)
Agony of Defeat
