Pretty close: it's Soy un perdedor. (Spanish for "I am a loser").
[hate to sound nitpicky, but I figured you'd want to know.]

Here are the lyrics to "Loser" by Beck. They're about as close as I've
seen.

In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey,
Butane in my veins and I'm out to cut the chunky,
With a plastic eyeball,
Spray paint the vegetables,
Dog food skulls,
beefcake pantyhose,
Kill the headlights and put it in neutral,
Stock car flaming with a loser on the cruise control,
Baby's in Reno with a vitamin D,
got a couple of couches,
sleep on the love seat...
someone came saying 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 seat...
So shave your face with some mace in the dark,
savin' all your food stamps for burnin' down the trailer park,
yo!
Cut it...

CHORUS
Soy una peredor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?
Double barrel buck-shot
Soy una peredor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?

Forces of evil in a bozo nightmare,
Bent all the music with a phony gas chamber,
because one's got a weasel and the other's got a flag,
one's on a pole, shoved the other in the bag,
With the rerun shows,
and the cocaine nosejobs,
the day-time crap of a folk singer's slot,
He hung himself with a guitar string,
Slab o' turkey neck,
and it's hangin' from a pigeon wing,
you can't write if you can't relate,
trade the cash for the P for the body for the hate,
and my time is a piece of wax,
fallin' on a termite,
that's chokin' on the splinters.

CHORUS
Soy una peredor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?
Gettin' crazy with the Cheese whiz
Soy una peredor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?
tra, tra, tra body crips

Yo, bring it on down!
I'm a driver,
I'm a winner,
things are gonna change,
I can feel it

Soy una peredor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?
I can't believe you
Soy una peredor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?
Soy una peredor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?
Sprechen sie deutsch, baby
Soy una peredor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?
You know what I'm sayin'?

I only know a Beatles song called: " I'm A Loser"

Anyway, here are the lyrics in case it is the one.

I'm a Loser (Lennon/McCartney)


I'm a loser
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

Of all the love I have won or have lost
there is one love I should never have crossed
She was a girl in a million, my friend
I should have known she would win in the end

I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

Although I laugh and I act like a clown
Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown
My tears are falling like rain from the sky
Is it for her or myself that I cry

I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

What have I done to deserve such a fate
I realize I have left it too late
And so it's true, pride comes before a fall
I'm telling you so that you won't lose all

I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be.

Hope I helped.

****NOTE**** I've never seen definitive lyrics for this song and I'm doing
this totally from memory without listening to the song, so if I'm wrong on
a couple, these are just what I think it sounds like...

"Loser" by Beck

In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey

Butane in my veins and mouth's just like a junkie
With the plastic eyeballs
Spraypaint the vegetables
Stock food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose
Kill the headlights and put 'er in neutral
Stock car flaming with the loser at the cruise control
Babies in Reno with the Vitamin D
Got a couple of couches
Laying on the love seat
Some can say I'm insane to complain about a shotgun wedding
And a stain on my shirt
Don't believe everything that you read
Got a parking violation and a magnet on your sleeve
So shave your face with some Mace in the dark
Save an old fruitstand
You're burning down a trailer park
Yo, cut it.

CHORUS: (this time with background "double-barreled buck shot")
Soy upendidor
I'm a loser baby
So why don't you kill me?

Forces of evil in a Bozo nightmare
Ban all the music with a phony gas chamber
'Cause one's got a weasel and the other's got a flag
One's a pole, shove the other in a bag
With the rerun shows and a cocaine nose job
The daytime crap was the folksinger's fault
Kill yourself with a guitar string
A slab of turkey neck and it's hanging from a pigeon ring
You can't write if you can't relate
Trade the cash for the P for the potty for the 8
And my time is a piece of wax
Falling on a termite who's choking on the splinters

CHORUS (background "Get crazy with the Cheez Whiz!")

Funky part

CHORUS (background "I can't believe you! Sie sprechen sie Deutsch, sie
baby...")

"Creep," by Radiohead, does not repeat "I'm a loser." It DOES,
however, say several times,"I'm a weirdo."

Beck did a song that repeated "I'm a loser, baby, so why don't you
kill me."

The song I'm a Loser is by Beck. It is on the album "Mellow Gold" released awhile ago.
He has a new album out now titled "Odelay".
It goes I'm a Loser baby so why don't you kill me.

Here are the lyrics something like this at least.


in the time of chimpanzees i was a monkey
butane in my brains and a mouth that cut the junkie
with the plastic eyeballs, spraypaint the vegetables
dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose
kill the headlights and put it in neutral
stock car flamin with the loser and the cruise control
baby's in reno with the vitamin d
got a couple o' couches, sleep on the love seat
someone keeps sayin i'm insane to complain about
a shotgun weddin and a stain on my shirt
don't believe everything that you breathe
you get a parkin violation and a maggot on your sleeve
so shave your face with some mace in the dark
savin all your food stamps and burnin 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 in a bozo nightmare
bent all the music with a phony gas chamer
cuz one's got a weasel and the other's got a flag
one's on the pole, shove the other in a bag
with th rerun shows and the cocaine nose job
the daytime crap with the folksinger slob
he hung himself with a guitar string
slap a turkey neck and it's hangin from a pigeon wing
you can't write if you can't relate
trade the cash for the beef for the body for the hate
and my time is a piece of wax, fallin on a termite


that's chokin on the splinters

soy un perdedor
i'm a loser baby


so why don't you kill me

(gettin 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 un perdedor
i'm a loser baby


so why don't you kill me

(i can't believe you)
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 deutches, baby)
soy un perdedor
i'm a loser baby


so why don't you kill me

(know what i'm sayin?)


That is them I am not sure if they are all correct.

Here are your lyrics:

Loser- Beck

In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey

Butane in my veins and I'm out to cut the chunky

With a plastic eyeball spray paint the vegetables
Dogfood skulls with the beef cake pantyhose
Kill the headlights and put it in neutral


Stock car flaming with a loser on the cruise control

Baby's in Reno with the Vitamin D
Got a couple o' couches, sleep on the love seat
Someone came saying 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 sleave
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 una peredor
I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me

Double barrel buck-shot
Soy una peredor

I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me

Forces of evil in a bozo nightmare
Bent all the music with a phony gas chamber
Cause ones a got a weasel and the others got a flag
Ones on a pole shoved the other in the bag
With the rerun shows and the cocaine nose jobs
The daytime crap of a folk singers slot
He hung himself with a guitar string
Slab 'o turkey neck and it's hanging from a pigeon wing


You can't write if you can't relate

Trade the cash for the P of the body for the hate
And my time is a piece of wax
Fallin on a termite
Who's choking on the splinters

Soy una peredor
I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me
Gettin' crazy with the cheez whiz
Soy una peredor
I'm loser baby so why don't you kill me
Tra tra body crips
YO bring it on down

I'm a driver
I'm a winner
Things are gonna change I can feel it.

Soy una peredor
I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me


I can't believe you
Soy una peredor

I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me
Soy una peredor
I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me
Spechen sie deutch baby

You know what I'm saying

Have I helped?

There's a song titled "I'm a Loser" by the Beatles. Since what you're
referring to seems to be a Spanish song (doesn't anyone write in complete
sentences anymore?) I get the feeling it's not what you're looking for. :)
