Lyrics McAlister's Hymn - Born to Lose

McAlister's Hymn

Rolling out of bed another piss drunk Tuesday
He’s stumbling out and looking for a fight
Go one more round with jack and crown, knocked out
It’s to the club or this lonely pub so he can find a drink
Where the motto is you swim before you sink
But dreams die fast with every glass he takes
Run away another day
Turn around and face the world
He’s falling down but never out as stubborn as he’s proud
So he’ll tip another bottle to his mouth
It’s do or die his battle cry heard loud
Stumbling outta the club another piss drunk Tuesday
It’s him against the world most every night
He’ll waste away go day by day, knocked down
Rolling out of bed another piss drunk Wednesday
He’s stumbling out and looking for a fight
Go one more round with jack and crown, knocked out
He’s warrior proud, live and loud, down and out, bout by bout
Standing tall he’ll turn and face the world
He’s black and blue, brew by brew, he’s twenty two, he’s me and you
