About this song (Last.fm)
"Loser" was Beck's first single for Geffen Records. The song was released from the 1994 album "Mellow Gold" & hit #10 on the American charts. Although this was Beck's third studio album, it was his first on a major label. According to the Loser Songfacts, Beck got the idea for this from his friend who always called him "Loser." Beck decided to write it into a chorus of a song as a joke. He didn't think anything would ever come of it. The Spanish heard in the chorus - "Soy un perdedor" - means "I am a loser.

180 ContributorsTranslationsPortuguês Loser Lyrics The verses of Beck’s breakout hit seem to be mainly a stream of consciousness consisting of nonsense while announcing to the world he’s just a slacker. But some feel he juxtaposes imagery of poverty with pop… Read More  [Verse 1] In the time of chimpanzees, I was a monkey Butane in my veins, and I'm out to cut the junkie With the plastic eyeballs, spray-paint the vegetables Dog food skulls with the beefcake pantyhose Kill the headlights and put it in neutral Stock car flaming with the loser in the cruise control Baby's in Reno with the vitamin-D Got a couple of couches, sleep on the loveseat Someone came, sayin’ I'm insane to complain About a shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt Don't believe everything that you breathe You get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve So shave your face with some mace in the dark Saving all your food stamps and burning down the trailer park Yo Cut it [Chorus] Soy un perdedor I'm a loser, baby, so why don't you kill me? (Double barrel buckshot) Soy un perdedor I'm a loser, baby, so why don't you kill me? [Verse 2] The forces of evil and a bozo nightmare Ban all the music with the phony gas chamber 'Cause one's got a weasel and the other's got a flag One's on the pole, shove the other in a bag With the rerun shows and the cocaine nose job The daytime crap of the folksinger slob He hung himself with a guitar string A slab of turkey neck, and it's hanging from a pigeon wing You can't write if you can't relate Trade the cash for the beat, for the body, for the hate And my time is a piece of wax fallin' on a termite Who's chokin' on the splinters [Chorus] Soy un perdedor I'm a loser, baby, so why don't you kill me? (Get crazy with the cheese whiz) Soy un perdedor I'm a loser, baby, so why don't you kill me? (Drive-by body pierce) [Bridge: Thomas Hendrix] (Yo, bring it on down) (?em llik uoy t'nod yhw os, ybab resol a m'I Rodedrep nu yoS) I'm a driver, I'm a winner Things are gonna change, I can feel it [Chorus] Soy un perdedor I'm a loser, baby, so why don't you kill me? (I can't believe you) Soy un perdedor I'm a loser, baby, so why don't you kill me? (Uh) Soy un perdedor I'm a loser, baby, so why don't you kill me? (Uh, Sprechen Sie Deutsch, eh, baby?) Soy un perdedor I'm a loser, baby, so why don't you kill me? (Know what I'm sayin'?)
