"Born Losers" as written by and Matthew Good....
Well there ain't nothing to this but your daughter
And the life you would not give her break your plans
Traipsed across the continent a squatter
For your lies at night to sleep between my hands
When the lights come on this whole place gets ugly
But when they're out strangers fall in love
She could never say that flat out she don't want me
Cause I could never say that half way ain't enough
New Order's on the turn table we're dancing
Cause what else do you do when you don't talk?
Crucified to crawl into your mansion
Ya, that's why I learned to crawl before I walked
We're back where we belong
Straight back where we belong
No days for nights, no cocaine cons
Just back where we belong
Take me out back to your piranhas
And beat me until I can't even stand
Your whole life a plane without no landing gear
So if this is it then come on let me land
That trailer trash pedigree is calling
It rats you out when you're down on all fours
Me I like to cast my death on yesterday
Cause what doesn't kill us now just makes us better whores
We're back where we belong
Straight back where we belong
No days for nights, no cocaine cons
Just back where we belong
Go put it in the ground
Go bury it some place it can't be found
Go put it in the ground
Well there ain't nothing to this but your daughter
And the life you would not give her break your plans
Traipsed across the continent a squatter
For your lies at night to sleep between my hands
And the life you would not give her break your plans
Traipsed across the continent a squatter
For your lies at night to sleep between my hands
When the lights come on this whole place gets ugly
But when they're out strangers fall in love
She could never say that flat out she don't want me
Cause I could never say that half way ain't enough
New Order's on the turn table we're dancing
Cause what else do you do when you don't talk?
Crucified to crawl into your mansion
Ya, that's why I learned to crawl before I walked
We're back where we belong
Straight back where we belong
No days for nights, no cocaine cons
Just back where we belong
Take me out back to your piranhas
And beat me until I can't even stand
Your whole life a plane without no landing gear
So if this is it then come on let me land
That trailer trash pedigree is calling
It rats you out when you're down on all fours
Me I like to cast my death on yesterday
Cause what doesn't kill us now just makes us better whores
We're back where we belong
Straight back where we belong
No days for nights, no cocaine cons
Just back where we belong
Go put it in the ground
Go bury it some place it can't be found
Go put it in the ground
Well there ain't nothing to this but your daughter
And the life you would not give her break your plans
Traipsed across the continent a squatter
For your lies at night to sleep between my hands

So if this is it, then come on let me land", and "Go put it in the ground
Go bury it somewhere it can't be found
Go put it in the ground" and think about the heavy symbolism there in regards to his unborn child. also, the title "born losers" is a dead give away. bottom line though, MG is pure brilliance
"Your whole life, a plane without no landing gear
So if this is it, then come on let me land"
Love it, pure genious.
Just wish I knew what the line "For your lies at night to sleep between my hands." means.
Anybody got any interpretations or ideas?
'what dont kill us
make us better whores'
i mean that right there is a clasic line, im deff gonna pick up the new CD... deff a good artist to listen to anytime of the day. and anyplace.
Just a though.. otherwise I dunno what it could be about.
"She could never say that flat out she don't want me
'Cause I could never say that halfway ain't enough"
scuh a brilliant way to describe a relationship that's only half way there, and as long as he was willing to put up with it she was never going to leave.
I'd also liek to think when he says
"Go put it in the ground
Go bury it somewhere it can't be found"
he's refering to the ring he gave her, you know matt's such a hopeless romantic/idealist that he probably actually bury a ring worth thousands just for the symbollism involved.
anyway great song, great album.
