Ron Sexsmith - Parable lyrics

Here's the story of a poor loser From the wrong side of the street Yes, he's a born loser It's the world he's trying to beat And though he once tried to cross over All he met there was defeat And it's the story of a bad winner Who'll rub you out and rub it in Yes, and he won't let you forget it He's going to get right under your skin I bet you anything he don't come out The same door he went in Some people say it's not win or lose But how you play the game It don't apply when stakes are high And when these two are playing So let's go back now to this poor loser He's lying on his bed He's got to big chip on his shoulder He's got a light bulb over his head And he thinks what if that bad winner Were to have a little accident?
