He Thought He Could
"So you think I'm a loser? Just because I have a
stinking job that I hate, a family that doesn't
respect me, a whole city that curses the day I was
born?
Well, that may mean loser to you, but let me
tell you something. Every morning when I wake
up, I know it's not going to get any better
until I go back to sleep again. So I get up, have
my watered down Tang and still-frozen Pop Tart, get
in my car with no upholstery, no gas and six more
payments to fight traffic just for the privilege of
putting cheap shoes on the cloven hooves of people
like you.
I'll never play football like I thought I
would, I'll never know the touch of a
beautiful woman, and I'll never again know the
joy of driving without a bag on my head. But I'm
not a loser. 'Cause despite it all, me and every
other guy who'll never be what he wanted to be,
are still out there, being what we don't wanna be,
forty hours a week, for life. And the fact that I
haven't put a gun to my mouth, you pudding of a
woman, makes me a winner!"
