I'd say Social D's "Born to Lose" I think is sufficiently light and dark on its own. Though from March-May of 1991 I probably would have gone with Nine Inch Nails "Something I can never have." What can I say, it was my blue period lol.
I was brought in this world 1962,
I didn't have much choice you see.
But by the time I was eight,
I could tell it was too late,
I was already barking up the wrong tree.
When I was in school you thought I was a fool,
In trouble, Breaking all the rules.
I was absent from class,
My daddy'd spank my bare ass,
But I sure tried hard to be cool.
[Chorus:]
Born to lose, was what they said,
You know I was better off dead.
Born to lose, you're just bad news,
You don't get no second chance.
It was a hot summer night in mid July,
A hangover and a black eye.
Your momma said I was a loser,
A dead end cruiser,
And deep inside I know that she was right.
[Chorus:]
Born to lose, was what they said,
You know I was better off dead.
Born to lose, you're just bad news,
You don't get no second chance.
I tried to get myself a job
Because that's the way that
Things are, wanna have nice things and go far.
Well I'm sorry Honey,
I ain't got much money
But I can sure play this here old Guitar.
As the years went on, I made a few mistakes
there was Troublebound for this young Man.
Police knockin' at my Door,
"Well he don't live here no More,
and he's playin' in a rock 'n' Roll band."
[Chorus:]
Born to lose, was what they said,
You know I was better off dead.
Born to lose, you're just bad news,
You don't get a second chance.
