Two kinds of people in this world Winners, losers I lost my power in this world Because I did not use it And I go insane like I always do And I call your name, she's a lot like you Two kinds of trouble in this world Living, dying I lost my power in this world And the rumors are flying And I go insane like I always do And I call your name, she's a lot like you
