The root of these phrases, lio, as in many things adapted by bikers, lies in the WW 2 conflict.
Such slogans were usually painted on aircraft, bombers and the like, as decoration.
As the war closed, returning servicemen (who became the core element of the motorcycling boom in the 1950's-'60's USA) would decorate their bikes with these slogans...some would use them as club names, i.e. 'Hell's Angel'.
I don't know the song you speak of...Of course, Motorhead has both 'Live to Win' and 'Born to Lose' as song titles.
Also, the biker exploitation movie from the 1960's, Born Losers, with Jack Nicholson.
