Cheat To Win

I can tell the real from the fake.

If it makes you happy, it can’t be that bad.

I hear you’re looking for someone to love.

If you don’t expect too much from me
You might not be let down
Cause all I really want is to be with you
Feeling like I matter too
If I hadn’t blown the whole thing years ago
I might be here with you

And you know it might not be that bad
You were the best I’d ever had
If I hadn’t blown the whole thing years ago
I might not be alone

This is quite possibly one of the best songs from the entire decade of the 1990s.

Easily one of my favorite indie anthems.  Also, am I the only person who remembers So I Married An Axe Murderer?

I got what you want (got what you want)
Got what you need (got what you need)
Can I get another shot?
This time I’mma make it hot

We don’t have to stay friends - let’s pretend to be enemies

Destination unknown

I’m never alone; I’m alone all the time.

It’s over now, I’m cold, alone
I’m just a person on my own
Nothing means a thing to me
(Nothing means a thing to me)

This trumps “Angel” for best 90s song about heroin addiction.

Pack your bags, your smokes in your pocket
You’re wearing my locket around your neck
Take a drag and wait for the Greyhound
The world is your playground and you want to win.

But when you’re broke and down and no one else is around.
You’ll come running back to this town and
I’ll be there, yeah I’ll be there.

Don’t believe in fear
Don’t believe in faith
Don’t believe in anything
That you can’t break

You say they taught you to read and write
Yeah they taught you how to count
I say they taught you how to buy and sell your own body by the pound
I think you like to be their simple toy
I think you love to play the clown
I think you are blind to the fact that the hand you hold is the hand that holds you down

…come on, now do that stupid dance for me
