The captain of the football team
Has got the prom queen but he's got no self esteem
And he hides beneath the sheets
While he cries himself to sleep

And that prom queen's got her own concerns yeah
The bottle's dry but still she never learns
And so she fills it up again
And she drinks to broken men

And she's overboard
Surrendered and ignored
So this is how it feels to lose the war

The baseball man is taking shots in his ass
While the skater wins by cracking kneecaps
And we all keep tuning in
As if somebody's gonna win

Superman is just another sham yeah
Clark works nights at the Tinker's Damn
Selling porno mags to dirty men
So he can pay the rent in his rat trap pigpen

And he's overboard
Surrendered and ignored
So this is how it feels to lose the war
Everybody's floating on their own decrepit boat
And everybody's fighting just to keep it all afloat
Oh oh oh

The president's just another man
Just pushing buttons with a half-baked plan
Like a stoner with a PS2
And he's playing games all afternoon

And he's just trying to beat his daddy's score
But it's a different time, and it's a different war
And he thinks this game is wearing thin
You need a faster thumb if you are gonna win

And he's overboard
Surrendered and ignored
So this is how it feels to lose it

And we were strong before
Now we're naked on the floor
So this is how it feels to lose the war
