I was told by my Grandma'
Many years ago, I was just a child
"Boy, go and grow as an honest man

Look on what you've done with pride!"

The years have passed I'm a normal lad

I won't be named in school treatises
But looking back on what I've done
Yes, there's a glimpse of pride!


Chorus:


The losers' ball
Dance with me
to the sound of the fiddle

For the ones who fall
Like a cloudless
sky reflected in a billow

Learn a new step for each new Babylon
build the city of lies and despair


If you have time send a message
To every form of human life
"Hey out there if someone listens

This way we won't survive!"

We'll be drawn in arrogance

Hanged by the noose of greed
A new religion of violence
A bible of bad deeds


Chorus:


The losers' ball
Dance with me
to the sound of the fiddle

For the ones who fall
Like a cloudless
sky reflected in a billow

Learn a new step for each new Babylon
build the city of lies-lust-despair
