This won't be so hard to follow
|
You must replace your common sense
|
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 yours 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, no way, they
|
Might let you in, but they'll never let you win
|
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 your t's and cross your eyes
|
Cross your fingers when the print is fine
|
What you've got to do is stay one step ahead
|
They're wide awake while you're still in bed
|
They count the money while you count the sheep
|
They're wide awake they can't afford to go to sleep
|
( No way! No way, no how, no
|
You can't win, no you'll never win
|
No how, no way, they
|
Might let you in, but they'll never let you win
|
They'll never let you win [x2] )
|
|
( No way, no how, no
|
You can't win, no you'll never win
|
No how, no way, they
|
Might let you in, but they'll never let you win
|
They'll never let you win [x2] )
|
Might let you in, but they'll never let you win [x4]
