THE LOSER IN THE END

The simplest track in the album, and a nice choice if QP ever release an anthology of Roger's rebel songs. It seems that only John escaped from Mamma-Pappa lyrics, since all of the others would fall for that throughout the years: Love Token, Let's Get Crazy, Bo Rhap, Liar, Business, Tie Your Mother Down...
