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 they're staying the same   You get in   Way over your head   And you've only got yourself to blame      You can't win, chile   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 just lay back   And you smoke that smoke   And you drink your glass of wine      Said you can't win, chile   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 can't win   But it's nice to see you   I'm awfully glad you came   Better cool it   'Cause it ain't about losin'   Then the world has got no shame      You can't win, chile   You can't break even   And 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'   Your little bit of money   While someone else rides for free   Learn your lesson, refuel your mind   Before some turkey blows out your flame
