The dad he was 50, the kid was 9 years old
He stood there like a miracle, with the kid's heart in his hold
'I think I might be dying, at least that's what I'm told'
Inside kid is crying, for the dream has just been sold

I'm only 9, I'm already feeling the strain
It seems everyone's dying or curling up in pain
Well it's just a loser's game, dad
It's just a loser's game

Oh come try and catch me, oh catch me if you can
I'll be the first to miss the grip of your hairless, bony hands
Well people run for shopping malls but you're waiting in the sky
Oh which consumer will you crush and which will you let by

I'm only 9, I'm already feeling the strain
It seems everyone's dying or curling up in pain
Well it's just a loser's game, dad
It's just a loser's game

Oh but the sun in the back of this vehicle
Remember the sun, where the beach boys were playing
Run for the sun

Oh dad, ain't it sad
That we're on this road to nowhere
Oh dad, ain't it sad
That we're on this road to nowhere
Oh dad, ain't it sad
That we're on this road to nowhere
Nowhere, I know

I'm only 9, I'm already feeling the strain
It seems everyone's dying or curling up in pain
Well it's just a loser's game, dad
It's just a loser's game
