According to the Yarn commentary, this song was written when Nick Hartkop was a middle school teacher. This song is about him watching middle school hallways, and witnessing things such as bullying. This song is also just about being young.
[Verse 1]
I saw the loser trip and fall
I saw his pictures in the hall again
I saw reflections of the mad
I think I'm finally getting sad again
Shit!
[Verse 2]
I saw the loser trip and fall
I think his parents took the fall
I saw the way his body goes
And yeah, I finally found my place
Oh good God, stand and take my place
I know the way it fucking goes
Motherfucker!
[Verse 3]
I know the loser found his place
It's kind of weird I know his face
I think it kind of looks like mine
She said her body knows the way
And everybody says the waist is just the way the body goes
Motherfucker!
(Haha, Nick's a loser!)
