Lyrics

All of my life I've been dreaming the wrong dream Hoping the wrong hope Singing the wrong song All of my life All of my life I've been picking the wrong horse Saying the wrong thing Making the wrong bets All of my life I thought there was nothing to life Just wait for that lucky hunch Just throw that lucky punch Wham! You too can be the champ Yesterday you batted zero Hit a homer, you're a hero I thought there was nothing to life Just wait for that lucky hunch There must be something more to it Somewhere along the line I blew it All of my life I've been meeting the wrong crowd Wearing the wrong tie Dancing the wrong steps All of my life All of my life I've been off on the wrong beam Backing the wrong team Dreaming the wrong dream All of my life All of my life All of my no good life All right, folks, step right up and meet a loser Come on, it's novelty night Anybody can meet a winner Show a little guts Shake hands with a loser Meet the champ of the losers Come on, I don't mind I must like losing I've been doing it so long On the day I was born I went into training I was grooming myself for oblivion And I made it Funny? Funny? Wanna hear a good one? I even lost my wife Kay, where are you? Are the kids home from school yet? What kids? I've got no time for kids I'm too busy trying to get a table Funny? Funny? I could keep you screaming like this for hours Hold it, hold it, wait a minute, this check is mine Hold it, this is Ubie Cram, I reach Eddie, lend me twenty, I'll give it back to you in no time Eddie, come on, Eddie! What? Take a job? What job? This job? Right here? Are you nuts? I don't want this job I want that job, way up there, the one I can't reach The shortcut Look out, step aside, they can't see me Here I am, folks, a loser No magic, no hocus-pocus, nothing up my sleeve Nothing But absolutely nothing I thought the American dream was wait for that one big break Just give the dice a shake Wham! You too can be on top Be an overnight sensation Meet the press and face the nation I thought the American dream was wait for that one big break There must be something more to it Somewhere along the line I blew it All of my life I've been learning the wrong tricks Pulling the wrong strings Making the wrong moves All of my life All of my life I've been off on the wrong beam Backing the wrong team Dreaming the wrong dream All of my life All of my life All of my whole damn life
