Testo You can't win Mighty Mighty Bosstones

You can't win

This won't be so hard to follow
you must replace your common senses
and then you won't find it's hard to swallow
its been based on real events
you can only hear what you want to hear
they're wide awake and they're well aware
that they made you a promise that they won't keep they're wide awake they can't afford to go to sleep
with no remorse or self respect
the course of course is the least direct
they choose to confuse a resource they'll use
well if they don't win they still won't lose
a red cent or one thin dime
been banking your and been banking mine
they say this is the way that its always been they may let you in but they'll never let you win
no way, no how, no
you can't win, no you'll never win
no how, now way, they may
let you in, but they'll never let you win
what now please a word here to the wise
you;ll need to read between the lines
you've got to dot you t's and cross your eyes
cross your fingers when the print is fine
what you've got to do is say one step ahead
they're wide awake while you're still in bed
they cound the money while you count the sheep
they're wide awakehey can't afford to go to sleep
