Two kinds of people in this world 
Winners, losers

She's a lot like you 

Two kinds of trouble in this world

The Human Race

Steven Curtis Chapman

Real Life Conversations

1988

In a world of winners and losers, 
Some are used, some are the users; 
It's a push and shove race 
Of trying to get ahead.

Roll the Dice

Status Quo

Under the Influence

1999

I walk along an empty street
I love the sounding of my feet
It makes me feel so good and though
There's nobody else around, not a soul

I'm quite content to take a seat
The council put there in the street
And watch the nothing going on
Can it really be so wrong all along
To want to have the best of both worlds
A winner once again

Roll roll roll, roll the dice
Pay pay pay, pay the price
Roll roll roll, gimme a roll
I want to roll, roll the dice

I made a beeline for a bar
That I had noticed just before
I didn't bother going in
And then the feeling came again from within
To want to have the best of both worlds
A winner once again

Roll roll roll, roll the dice
Pay pay pay, pay the price
Roll roll roll, gimme a roll
I want to roll, roll the dice

Yesterday's Winner Is a Loser Today [Previously Unreleased Track]

Gene Watson

Ernest Tubb & Friends Vol. 2

1996

The world loves a winner but someone must lose
There's bound to be someone left with the blues

So why should I worry when you go away yesterday's winner is a loser today
Now I now that I find this heart to play fair but somehow I wonder if you really care
Was it love that you gave dear or just foolish play 
Yesterday's winner is a loser today

Now I know there was someone in your life before
And I'm sure it's that someone that you still adore
Oh I wish it was different but there's no other way
Yesterday's winner is a loser today

So goodbye little darlin' I'm sorry we met it's easy to love but so hard to forget
Just remember my story here's all I can say
Yesterday's winner is a loser today

Gettin' Me Over Mountains

Tracy Byrd

I'm from the Country

1998

It's an everyday battle
Just tryin' to break even
No, there ain't no gettin' ahead
When you're just gettin' by
But she's standing on the front porch
When I get home in the evening
That's how I know everything's gonna be all right

I've crossed rivers with her kisses
Come through hard times with her soft touch
I don't know how but she makes it look easy
Getting me over mountains with her love

There are days I want to give up
Declare the world a winner
When the bills and the dog gone boss
Won't cut me no slack
But when we're turnin' these lights down
And I'm lyin' there with her
There ain't a rock on the road of life
I can't get past

I've crossed rivers with her kisses
Come through hard times with her soft touch
I don't know how but she makes it look easy
Getting me over mountains with her love
Getting me over mountains with her love

Deacon Blues

Steely Dan

Classic Albums: Aja

1977

This is the day of the expanding man
That shape is my shade
There where I used to stand
It seems like only yesterday
I gazed through the glass
At ramblers, wild gamblers
That's all in the past

You call me a fool
You say it's a crazy scheme
This one's for real
I already bought the dream
So useless to ask me why
Throw a kiss and say goodbye
I'll make it this time
I'm ready to cross that fine line

Learn to work the saxophone
I play just what I feel
Drink Scotch whiskey all night long
And die behind the wheel
They got a name for the winners in the world
I want a name when I lose
They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
Call me Deacon Blues

My back to the wall
A victim of laughing chance
This is for me
The essence of true romance
Sharing the things we know and love
With those of my kind
Libations
Sensations
That stagger the mind

I crawl like a viper
Through these suburban streets
Make love to these women
Languid and bittersweet
I rise when the sun goes down
Cover every game in town
A world of my own
I'll make it my home sweet home

Learn to work the saxophone
I play just what I feel
Drink Scotch whiskey all night long
And die behind the wheel
They got a name for the winners in the world
I want a name when I lose
They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
Call me Deacon Blues

This is the night of the expanding man
I take one last drag
As I approach the stand
I cried when I wrote this song
Sue me if I play too long
This brother is free
I'll be what I want to be

I learned to work the saxophone
I play just what I feel
Drink Scotch whiskey all night long
And die behind the wheel
They got a name for the winners in the world
I want a name when I lose
They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
Call me Deacon Blues

I'm Lucky
I'm Lucky
I can walk under ladders
Yes I'm so lucky
That I'm as lucky as me

Struck it rich

Loves a winner
Yes I'm so happy
That you're happy with me

You are happy too
Ain't you baby

The Fool

U2

Contract Demos

Alive in an ocean
A world that I didn't see
I walk the world back ways
It's aways the same ballgame

That's out of mind
Out of the living world
Out of time
I break all the rules

They call me a fool
I cartoon in motion
A hero pretends no pain
A clown slipping backwards

You laugh at another's shame
But I don't mind
I know I'm limping low down
I don't mind

Winners or losers
It's all just a game
And I'm going down
And I'm strolling down

Life and an answer
The key to an open door
Admitting I'm laughing
Living I'm limping more

It's out of mind
Out of the living world
Out of time
Winners or losers

It's always a game
And I'm going down
But I'm strolling down
To rout around

And around, and around
To round round
There's a cloud
There's a cloud

So the fool has found the golden key
So it's waiting there for you and me
Just a fool, a street jester
The hero of society

Just a fool, a street jester
Look at me, now can't you see
A life in emotion
A world I'm glad I didn't see

A cartoon in motion
A key to the same day
I don't mind, I'm here to know
I want to go go go go go

So the fool has found the golden key
It's so it's waiting there for you and me
Just a fool, a street jester
The hero of society

Just a fool, a street jester
Look at me, now can't you see

I have only received injustice
In my home as outside
They think I'm nobody
But they don't really know Who I am

I am the winner
And will be forever
In this place and nobody else

I am the winner
The winner of the World
I am the winner
The winner of the World
I am the winner
The winner of the World
I am the winner
The winner of the World

It's my time this is the day
Are you ready?

Blazing fire screams get higher
Save yourself or lose it all
Pyromania conceal the failure
Of choices made before the dawn

Flames eternal in a life inferno
Let the chaos guide you
Cause they can’t control you
Saints and sinners in this world of winners
Let your conscience guide you
Cause they can’t control you

Frozen lakes with 
No escapes just
Take a breath before the fall
Stuck in limbo
Nowhere to go
Light the fire and watch it burn

Flames eternal in a life inferno
Let the chaos guide you
Cause they can’t control you
Saints and sinners in this world of winners
Let your conscience guide you
Cause they can’t control you

In the silence you feel the violence
You can’t control what’s going on

Flames eternal in a life inferno
Let the chaos guide you
Cause they can’t control you
Saints and sinners in this world of winners
Let your conscience guide you
Cause they can’t control you

Flames eternal in a life inferno
Let the chaos guide you
Cause they can’t control you
Saints and sinners in this world of winners
Let your conscience guide you
Cause they can’t control you

Why Make Sense?

Hot Chip

Why Make Sense? [LP]

2015

Out of happiness
Can come a bitterness
Move the readiness
Into a headiness
With your last caress
Started motionless
Like the sinner says
Move your body-ness

And mine, mine
Go high and high
It moves too slow
Before you know

Into happiness
With a sweet caress
From the loving-ness
With the somewhere blessed
What becomes us next
Nothing we can test
Nothing we can trust
If we can't caress

Why make sense
When the world around refuses?
A winner lost is one who always chooses
Nothing left can leave you all out of time
And without it, you're nearing your decline
Why be tough
When strength is just for losers?

Who's Sorry Now?

Todd Rundgren

2nd Wind

1991

You can feel the bodies aching
You can feel the spirit waisting
But it's someone else's children
And it's someone else's problem in the end
You just go about your business
You've got bigger fish frying
Someday you might be a witness
Someday you may wake up crying like I cry
What's the problem?
There's no problem in your own little world
What's the bother?
Can't be bothered
'til your own little world goes to hell,
Then you can tell
We are all in this together
We are all in this together
We got to pull together
And we can't worry who's sorry now
Who's sorry now,
Now that everything is clear
Who's sorry now,
Sorrow unspoken here
Please take a bow
You got so many distractions
You got old friends to satisfy
You're afraid of the reaction
If the others should find out, you'd falsify
Maybe this could never happen
Maybe God is on your side
Tell yourself what I tell myself
That it's justice when somebody else must die
It's a hard life
Such a hard life, it's a hard little world
Some are winners, some are losers
Here in our little world
But you'd sell out, beg, borrow, steal,
Move mountains, if it was your own
It was your own
When it's your own pretty baby
There's no method in the madness
We all can't escape the sadness
Don't surround your heart with hardness
You may someday need someone to sympathize
Before you're crushed by your own selfishness
You must confess
Are you feeling sorry?

Everyone's the winner in the world
So let me refresh you
Everyone's the winner in the world
To get it, to get it, to get it, you know?

Bred to be a punch-drunk pit bull
Hit to win and you become the mass will
You'll defeat the world, they promised him
A hero in need of love always wins

Flash talk TV made him what he was
The greed collecting while the blood is drawn
He fought everyone like they had stolen from him
But in the end he was a just a boy controlled by the king

The king of America
The king of the world
A talker, a winner
A bottomless cup of an ego
The king of America
The king of the world
A talker, a winner
A bottomless cup of an ego

Bodyguards, girls that never say no (Say no)
Red alert gloves swinging out of control
Everybody struggling for a piece of his soul (Piece of his soul)
Their wonder boy, their pile of gold

The king of America
The king of the world
A talker, a winner
A bottomless cup of an ego
The king of America
The king of the world
A talker, a winner
A bottomless cup of an ego, yea-eh

Yeah yeah
Ooh ooh hoo hoo
Ooh ooh hoo hoo
Ooh ooh ooh hoo

Bred, bred to be a punch-drunk pit bull
Hit, hit to win and you become the mass will
You'll defeat the world, they promised him
A hero in need of love always wins

The king of America
The king of the world
A talker, a winner
A bottomless cup of an ego
The king of America
The king of the world (The king of the world)
A talker, a winner (Aaah)
A bottomless cup of an ego

i've never seen you so awful
i found you at the bottom of a russian novel
gold medal & a crown
a cardigan & a frown
so maladjusted & clever
the greatest smith's fan ever
your picture's in the paper
& the caption shouts
there is a boy that never goes out
that same song on repeat
you haven't left the house in weeks
you won't even come out for dinner
toby grace world record winner
i guess you thought it would make you feel better somehow
but heaven knows you're miserable now
heaven knows you're miserable now
heaven knows you're miserable now
so toby take a bow
