You Can't Win

You can't win, you can't break even

And you can't get out of the game

People keep saying' things are gonna change

But they look just like they're staying' the sameYou get in way over your head

And you only have 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 gameYou can't win, the world keeps moving'

And you're standing' far behind

People keep saying', 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)Said you can't win, Child, you can't break even

And you can't get out of the gameYou can't win, you can't win no way

If your story stays the same, no, no

(You ain't winning')

(But it's nice to see you)

(I'm awfully glad you came)

(Better cool it 'cause it ain't about losing')Then the world has got no shame

You can't win, Child

You can't break even

You can't get out of the gameYou can't win, you can't break even

Ain't the way it's supposed to be, no, no

(You'll be spending')

(Your little bit of money)While someone else rides for free, ooh

(Learn your lesson)

(Refuel your mind)

(Before someone blows out your flame)You can't win, Child, no

You can't win

You can't win, Child, no

You can't winYou can't win, Child, no

You can't win

You can't win, Child, no

You can't winYou can't win, Chile, you can't break even

And you can't get out of the game

You can't get out of the game

You can't get out of the game, no, no

(Ugh)
