Demo (ver. 3)
In the great state of Colorado
You can buy up all the votes
Take your shots at the outsider
Well, fuck the system
But the system's a joke
You can press all of the charges
You can play down your woman's card
But we need a person with high energy
To turn this world around
I'm gonna be your lovable loser
In the 90s, I was in deep trouble
Everybody said it's not gonna work
But if someone attacks
I will stand up for what's right
Now my peeps have some fun and hit back
I know singers better than Sinatra
But you gotta get out there and show the world
Tell me where I'm gonna go
When you leave me behind
And tell me if you enjoyed the show
I'm gonna be your lovable loser
