"You Can't Win" lyrics

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 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
No, no, no
The world keeps moving
And you're standing far behind
Far behind
People keep saying
They be talking, they be talking, they be talking
Things'll get better
Just to ease your state of mind
So you laying back
And you smoke that smoke
And you drink your glass of wine
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
No, no, no
You can't win, no way
If your story stays the same
You ain't winnin'
No, no, no
But it's nice to see you
I'm awfully glad you came
Better cool it, 'cause it ain't about losing
And the world has got no shame
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
No, no, no
You can't break even
Ain't the way that it's supposed to be
You'll be spending
Ch-ch-ching
Your little bit of money
While someone else rides for free
Learn your lesson
And refuel your mind
Before some turkeys blow out your flame
You can't win, child
You can't win, child
No, no, no, no
You can't win, no
You can't win, child, no, no, no, no, no, no
You can't win, no
You can't win, child, no, you can't, no, you can't
You
You can't win, child
You can't win
You can't win, child
I said you can't break even
You can't get out of the game
You can't get out of the game
You can't get out of the game
You can't get out of the game

You can't get out of the game
