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) Say 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 You can't get out of the game You can't get out (wooh!) of the game No, no...
