I Win, You Lose
You snooze, you lose
Listen, my fellow losers
You haven’t been the choosers
Until recently
The mantra has always been
Take it on the chin
Keep your nose to the grindstone
To each his own stone
Blood, toil, tears and sweat, heck
A hunt and a peck
If you think that
You have another think coming
Or another drink coming
Of course, you do
You can’t stop the thoughts  
Thinking is all you do, do
You think about not thinking
So, how did that work out for you?
Are thoughts the things of thinking
Of course, they are, I think
Where do they come from
And where do they go
Do they go fishing
Do they go to the dogs
How did that work out for you?
Me think, maybe this is a rabbit hole.
Try to stop the thoughts with Percocet
How did that work out for you?
You think about quitting
Knowing perfectly well
Well there’s only permitting
How did that work out for you
You can play the victim
In your own tragic story
Boring, boring
How did that work out for you?
Try not to try
And you only try, try harder
How did that work out for you?
Finished before you even got started
Because you thought it through to the end
To the mythological dead end
And my friend
How did that work out for you?
Not this and not that
Chit chat I say to that
I don’t know about you
As for me
Nothing’s worked out  
But I don’t give a ****
(for now)
Because it’s only when you don’t give a ****
That’s when the dam opens for you
How to get there
Ah, That’s the rub
Scrub a dub dub
And Scobey do
How did that work out for you?
