Loser, Loser, Loser, Lost

The scene at Appomattox (1). The Greeks of Themopylai (2)
The men at Dien Bien Phu (3) lining up to die.
A million ghosts will stop throats of any who dares (?)
General Grant and General Lee and all at Appomattox

They're in every classroom
In every secondary school
And in every workplace
Every typing pool

They are beside you on the bus
With the lifeless stare
Nervously outside surgery
Waiting for doctor's there

Together it is all (?)
Loser. Loser, loser, losing, lost.
Loser, loser, losing, lost. Lost.

There's cancer in the south of France
Cancer lurks in Rome
Cancer circles the whole globe
'Til it finds you home

In heart and liver it is waiting
For all of us, or most
Our very selves join hands and sing
Loser, losing, lost
Loser. Loser, loser, losing, lost
Loser, loser, losing, lost.
