(from "The Wiz")

|
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...
