I saw a live video of this song, but I wasn't watching for what he was playing,
but I saw he used a slide and he played this song amazingly well. I've just got
the song today and this is how I've interpreted it.
Guitars are played on an acoustic (preferably one of those metal ones) with a bottleneck.
Open D tuning - D, A, D, F#, A, D

That's basically the whole song from what I can tell, with help from my guitar
teacher about slide guitar tunings and the main riff.
any questions? andrewbiles@hotmail.com

Lyrics:
In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey,
butane in my veins so I'm out to get the junkie
with the plastic eyeballs, spraypaint the vegetables,
dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose,
kill the headlights and put it in neutral,
stockcar flaming with a loser in the cruise control,
baby's in Reno with the vitamin D,
got a couple of couches, sleep on the love seat,
someone came sayin' I'm a saint (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 for burning down the trailer park,
yo, cut it
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,
forces of evil on a bozo nightmare,
ban all the music with a phony gas chamber
cause one's got a weasel and others got a flag,
one's on the pole, shove the other in the bag,
with the rerun shows and cocaine nose job,
the daytime crap of the folk singers slop,
he hung himself with a guitar string,
a slab of turkey neck and it's hangin' from a pigeon wing,
I can't write if ya' can't relate,
trade the cash for the beef for the body for the hate,
and my time is a piece of wax, fallen on a termite,
who's chokin' on the splinters
Soy un perdedor, I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me
get crazy with the cheez-wiz,
Soy un perdedor, I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me
drive, by, body pierce
yo bring it on down
Soy
*(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
Soy un perdedor, I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me
I can't believe it
Soy un perdedor, I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me
Soy un perdedor, I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me
Sprechen sie deutsch, baby
Soy un perdedor, I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me
You know what I'm sayin'
