|
You can\'t win |
|
You can\'t break even |
|
And you can\'t get out of the game |
|
People keep sayin\' |
|
Things are gonna change |
|
But they look just like |
|
You\'re stayin\' the same |
|
You get in |
|
way over your head |
|
And you only got yourself to blame |
|
You can\'t win Child (You can\'t win Child) |
|
You can\'t break even |
|
And you can\'t get out of the game |
|
You can\'t win |
|
The world keeps movin\' |
|
And you\'re standin\' far behind |
|
People keep sayin\' |
|
Things\'ll get better |
|
(Just to ease your state of mind) |
|
(So you lean back, and you smoke that smoke) |
|
(And you drink your glass of wine) |
|
So you can\'t win, Child |
|
You can\'t break even |
|
And you can\'t get out of the game |
|
You can\'t win, you can\'t win no way |
|
If your story stays the same |
|
(You ain\'t winnin\'), |
|
No, no, |
|
(But it\'s nice to see you) |
|
(I\'m awfully glad you came) |
|
(Better cool it \'cause |
|
It ain\'t about losin\') |
|
And the world has got no shame |
|
You can\'t win, Child |
|
You can\'t break even |
|
You can\'t get out of the game |
|
You can\'t win |
|
You can\'t break even |
|
Ain\'t the way it\'s supposed to be |
|
(You\'ll be spendin\'), |
|
No, no |
|
(Your little bit of money) |
|
While someone else rides for free |
|
(Learn your lesson), ooh, |
|
(Refuel your mind) |
|
(Before some turkey blows out your flame) |
|
You can\'t win, Child. No! |
|
You can\'t win |
|
You can\'t win, Child. No! |
|
You can\'t win |
|
You can\'t win, Child. No! |
|
You can\'t win |
|
You can\'t win, Child. No! |
|
You can\'t win |
|
You can\'t win, Child |
|
You can\'t break even |
|
And you can\'t get out of the game |
|
(Chorus~till the end) |
|
You can\'t get out of the game |
|
You can\'t get out (wooh!) of the game |
|
No, no... |
