| Track 12: Loser's Lament |
| Chorus: I guess that I am not as great as I had thought. (2x) Verse 1: No fan pilgrimmages like Muslims to Mecca Steve Taylor's not begging to make my next record No Heisman, no Grammy, no Hollywood star I'm still making payments on my wife's old car Chorus Verse 2: Not all of my students are wowed by my teaching Still finding it hard to practice what I've been preaching No proving deep theorems unsolved by math's greatest No reaching the world like Bill Graham through my witness Chorus Verse 3: No History Channel-featured biography No paparazzi want to take my photography No ascension to the job of Head of Statey Not President yet, not even First Lady Chorus |

| Notes Check the dates: I wrote this song long before I was about to turn 40. When I wrote the song, I was making payments on Lisa's Mazda. It's paid off now. The Moron Tabernacle Choir (Anna Dove, Andrew Dove, Megan Rossi, and Katherine Rossi) sang back up on this song. |
