Parable Lyrics - Ron Sexsmith

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 bid winner 

Who'll rub you out and rub it in 

Yes, and he won't let you forget it 

He's gonna 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 no win or lose 

But how you play the game 

It don't apply when stakes are high 

And when these tow are playing 

So let's go back now to this poor loser 

He's lying on his bed 

He's gotta 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
