You Can`t Win — текст песни (Mighty Mighty Bosstones)

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]
