I was told by my Grandma
Many years ago, I was just a child
"Boy, go and grow as an honest man
Look on what you've done with pride!"
The years have passed and I'm a normal lad
I won't be named in school treatises
But looking back to what I've done
Yes, there's a glimpse of pride!
The loser's ball
(Dance with me to the sound of the fiddle)
For the ones who fall
(Like a cloudless sky reflected in a billow)
Learn a new step for each new Babylon
(Build the city of lies and despair)
If you have time send a message
To every form of human life
"Hey out there if someone listens
This way we won't survive!"
We'll be drawn in arrogance
Hanged by the noose of greed
A new religion of violence
A bible of bad deeds
The loser's ball
(Dance with me to the sound of the fiddle)
For the ones who fall
(Like a cloudless sky reflected in a billow)
Learn a new step for each new Babylon
(Build the city of lies lust despair)
