The Art Of Losing

American Hi-Fi The Art Of Losing Lyrics
1.The Art Of Losing

Last call now I'm outta time
And I don't got no valentine
Singled out, now I stand alone
The underdog in a modern world
Suburbia is hot tonight
But nothing seems to feel alright
I don't want your sympathy
I just need a little therapy
At least that's what they say to me

Hey ho let's go
I'm gonna start a riot
You don't wanna fight it
One two fuck you
Don't tell me what to do
I don't wanna be like you
Can't you see it's killing me
I'm my own worst enemy
Knock me down I'll keep on moving
It's the art of losing

Fit the mold and do what you're told
Get a job and start growing old
9 to 5 can make your dreams come true
But I don't wanna be like you
I'm not cool and I'll never be
I break the rules and I guarantee
I don't want your sympathy
I just need a little therapy
At least that's what they say to me

Hey ho let's go
I'm gonna start a riot
You don't wanna fight it
One two fuck you
Don't tell me what to do
I don't wanna be like you
Can't you see it's killing me
I'm my own worst enemy
Knock me down I'll keep on moving
It's the art of losing

You call me a loser
Say I'm just a user
But I'll just keep on moving
Cause that's the art of losing

Hey ho let's go
I'm gonna start a riot
You don't wanna fight it
One two fuck you
Don't tell me what to do
I don't wanna be like you
Can't you see it's killing me
I'm my own worst enemy
Knock me down I'll keep on moving
It's the art of losing

Wahhhooo (It's the art of losing)
Wahhhooo (It's the art of losing)

We're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids in America
We're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids in America


2.The Breakup Song

I can believe I hung around with you
All this time
You drove me crazy with your ocd
Girl your out of your mind
I counting on ufo to beam me up
I just don know
How long I can take this shit
I over it girl you gotta go

It over were over
Just like in crimson and clover
Were sinking and I thinking
How the hell did we get so stupid
It the end ex girlfriend
I don care what you think of me now
So long your gone
This is the break up song

One more thing before you go
Would you please give me my records back
My bloody valentine, the pixies, cheap trick and back in black
You can keep the dog we bought
But you can go near the standard bar
Don hang around
Don call my friends
They wont know who you are

Its over we e over
Just like in crimson and clover
Were sinking and I thinking
How the hell did we get so stupid
It the end ex girlfriend
I don care what you think of me now
So long your gone
This is the break up song

So long your gone
This is the break up song

Its over we e over
Just like in crimson and clover
Were sinking and I thinking
How the hell did we get so stupid
It the end ex girlfriend
I don care what you think of me now
So long your gone
This is the break up song

So long your gone

THIS IS THE BREAKUP SONG

4.Save Me

I e been so low
Yeah I e been so strung out
Can you picture this
I l take something
It better than nothing, anything
That you e go to give

I can let go
I don want you to know
I e been down so long
Could you save me
I l fight my way
Just to hear you say
If I go up in flames
Could you save me

The more you whisper
The words keep stinging in my ear
We e never gonna be the same
Sunshine fading and black sheets
Raining down on me
They cover up everything

I can let go
I don want you to know
I e been down so long
Could you save me
I l fight my way
Just to hear you say
If I go up in flames
Could you save me

I e been so selfish
I get so high
Don wanna come down

I e been so low
Yeah I e been so strung out
Can you picture this

I can let go
I don want you to know
I e been down so long
Could you save me
I l fight my way
Just to hear you say
If I go up in flames
Could you save me

Yeah could you save me
Oh could you save me


5.Nothing Left To Lose

Nothing left to lose
Except you and your baby blues
Microphone check this rhyme
Pancho villa was a friend of mine

And I kick it like Jackie Chan
With my kung fu style

Pull in down boards like rodman
All the lipstick chicks sing

And I rock it like Jackson Browne
Let me tell ya right now what

Hey hey hey

6.Teenage Alien Nation

I want it all
No matter what thought you heard me say
No matter what you know you can escape today
??So what if you don like me
I don give a fuck if you don like me
I can change my lock
It seems that I rotten to the core

Forget about tomorrow
You and me we e going down in sorrow
Youth of the nation going nowhere
Station to station
Teenage alien nation (woah)
Teenage alien nation (yeah)

It all wrong
I guess that some of us have come and gone
I guess we kinda shudda known it all along
Never going anywhere
Sometimes you gotta pick it up and roll the dice
Your looking back and you don think twice
Bout feeling lonely everyday

Forget about tomorrow
You and me we e going down in sorrow
Youth of the nation going nowhere


7.Rise

I don know what I can take
Can you feel the pressure break
I e been getting by on nothing
How long so long
Feeling like I lost my vision
Transmission full of dead ambition
Kinda sorta gotta get it together
I can wait forever

Rise out of the atmosphere
I gotta disappear
I gotta get out of here
You got the best of me
Rise up and outta here
Into the stratosphere
I gotta get out of here
You got the best of me

I could never be that clever
Even though it now or never
Counting down the seconds till it blows
4 3 2 1
Disappear without a trace
Could I be in outer space
Staring at the sun till I get how high so high

Rise out of the atmosphere
I gotta disappear
I gotta get out of here
You got the best of me
Rise up and outta here
Into the stratosphere
I gotta get out of here
You got the best of me

Did I break down
Can we slow down
I wanna get out
I don wanna be so bored

Rise out of the atmosphere
I gotta disappear
I gotta get out of here
You got the best of me
Rise up and outta here
Into the stratosphere
I gotta get out of here
You got the best of me


8.This Is The Sound

Empty hearts can fill an empty room
Because of you
The sky above remaining clear and blue
It nothing new
The radio keeps playing static of favorite songs
Why does everyone keep on bringing me back to you?

And this is the sound
Of the broken down
And this is the last train home
The home beyond your ground
And this is the fall
Don catch me if I fall
Just catch me when I fall
Back to the ground

Lightning crashes all around me now
I hear it sound
Broken wings can carry us
To where people stare
Fall asleep against the window pane
Outside the rain covers everyone
Now we e never gonna see the sun

And this is the sound
Of the broken down
And this is the last train home
The home beyond your ground
And this is the fall
Don catch me if I fall
Just catch me when I fall
Don catch me if I fall
Back to the ground

If you wanted to stay
I l have you any day
And if you wanted to stay
I l have you any way

And this is the sound
Of the broken down
And this is the last train home
The home beyond your ground
And this is the fall
Don catch me if I fall
Just catch me when I fall
Back to the ground

And this is the sound
This is the sound
And this is the fall
Don catch me if I fall
Just catch me when I fall
Don catch me if I fall


9.The Gold Rush

She caught the gold rush
I could never get enough
She been in magazines
What a little beauty queen
She l stay a stick around a while
With such a winning smile
She could be in black and white
I colour blind I l make it right

Her head keeps spinning round
I in over my head
There an art to falling down

Hey hey I got a message for ya
You e gonna blow it girl
Stuck in your little world
Fight fight till we get it right
I got you right where I want you

She caught the goldrush
I must of lost my touch
She on the movie screen
Acting like a rocket queen

She l so the long mile
With such a winning smile
Break it down forever
I don want her anyhow

Her head keeps spinning round
I in over my head
There an art to falling down

Hey hey I got a message for ya
You e gonna blow it girl
Stuck in your little world
Fight fight till we get it right
I got you right where I want you

Golden girl
She just a golden girl
My little rocket queen
On the movie screen

Hey hey I got a message for ya
You e gonna blow it girl
Stuck in your little world
Fight fight till we get it right
I got you right where I want you

Hey hey I got a message for ya
You e gonna blow it girl
Stuck in your little world
Fight fight till we get it right
I got you right where I want you


10.Built For Speed

She on fire like a rocket spinning out of control
Try to stop her but you just don know
How to keep it inside
Can you keep on turning out
I l wait for my turn
Same old story coz you never learn
Gotta make it in time

She don know what she does to me
The girl got soul and rhythm in between
I crash and burn like every other time
She my little rock n roll queen
I got a girl like that
My baby built for speed

Shoot to kill built to spill
Got a mind take your pills
But your never gonna get to what thrills
All of us inside
Can you put the pedal to the metal this time
You gotta want it like I want it alright
We gotta start tonight

She don know what she does to me
The girl got soul and rhythm in between
I crash and burn like every other time
She my little rock n roll queen
I got a girl like that
My baby built for speed

She on fire like a rocket spinning out of control
Try to stop her but you just don know
How to keep it inside

She don know what she does to me
The girl got soul and rhythm in between
I crash and burn like every other time
She my little rock n roll queen
I got a girl like that
My baby built for speed

I got a girl like that
My baby built for speed


11.Happy

I see you in a daydream
Turn it on now make a big scene
You kiss you kiss when you want something
Fake a smile now
You got it all

And that oughta get you nowhere
What you say to me
I know how to stay outta focus

Keep your head down till the bitter end
Make believe that you my best friend
You trade passion for fashion
Nothings cool like when we were cool

And that oughta get you nowhere
What you say to me
I know how to stay outta focus

You fall through to cracks of the city street
You can see straight
You can see straight

I see you in a daydream
Turn it on now make a big scene
It makes you happy
It makes you happy
It makes you happy
It makes you happy

And that oughta get you nowhere
What you say to me
I know how to stay outta focus

And that oughta get you nowhere
What you say to me
You fall through to cracks of the city street
You can see straight
You can see straight
You can see straight
