The Loser in the End Lyrics
Mama's got a problem
She don't know what to say
Her little baby boy has just left home today
She's got to be the loser in the end
She's got to be the loser in the end
Misuse her and you'll lose her as a friend
She's Ma on whom you can always depend, oooh ooh
She washed and fed
And clothed and cared
For nearly twenty years
And all she gets is "Goodbye Ma"
And the night times for her tears
She's got to be the loser in the end
She's got to be the loser in the end
Misuse her and you'll lose her as a friend
She's Ma on whom you could always depend
Oooh ooh, ooooh
We'll hear ya talking now
So listen mothers everywhere
To just one mother's son
You'll get forgotten all the way
If you don't let them have their fun
Forget regrets and just remember
It's not so long since you were young
You're bound to be the loser in the end
You're bound to be the loser in the end
They'll choose their new shoes
That's not far to bend
You're Ma on whom they can always depend
Ooooh oooh
Oooh ooh
She don't know what to say
Her little baby boy has just left home today
She's got to be the loser in the end
She's got to be the loser in the end
Misuse her and you'll lose her as a friend
She's Ma on whom you can always depend, oooh ooh
And clothed and cared
For nearly twenty years
And all she gets is "Goodbye Ma"
And the night times for her tears
She's got to be the loser in the end
She's got to be the loser in the end
Misuse her and you'll lose her as a friend
She's Ma on whom you could always depend
Oooh ooh, ooooh
We'll hear ya talking now
To just one mother's son
You'll get forgotten all the way
If you don't let them have their fun
Forget regrets and just remember
It's not so long since you were young
You're bound to be the loser in the end
They'll choose their new shoes
That's not far to bend
You're Ma on whom they can always depend
Ooooh oooh
Oooh ooh

Roger's first Queen song was Modern Times Rock 'n' Roll on Queen I. Yeah, definitely has a great drum track!
It's about a mom who loved her son a lot, but she was too overprotective of him, so now that he's all grown up, he can't wait to get out of the house and leave her. It's giving advice to moms (or parents in general) not to be overprotective or too controlling of their kids (at least let them pick out their own shoes!), but at the same time, seems to be telling the kids not to take their moms for granted.
I have heard some less than flattering reviews on this song but personally I think it rocks. I have to admit I like all of Queen's music but this one is a hard rocker with the coolest drums.
I agree. Would this be Roger's first Queen song, or were there other ones on Queen 1. Anyway, this has an awesome drum track, i was overwelmed when i heard about it.

This is probably one Roger's finest performances as a vocalist and drummer. The fills towards the end are mindblowing and very John Bonham-esque.
