You never hear the one that hits you, no!    Well, you work real hard and you stay in line  Got your nose to the grindstone all the time  Then they say, "I'm sorry and I know it's hard  But there ain't no work, just pick up your cards"    And you never hear the one that hits you no  Never did, never will  You never hear the one that hits you no  Never did, never will  You never hear the one that hits you no, no, no    So you send applications all over town  and the only replies are to turn you down  Then after months someone's on the phone  And you get to the interview the job's long gone    And you never hear the one that hits you no  Never did, never will  You never hear the one that hits you no  Never did, never will  You never hear the one that hits you no, no, no    Sneaks up behind you and hits you in the head    So you reach the point where you just don't care  And you've made up your mind to live on fresh air  Cos it doesn't matter what's been done or said  And you better start living, you're a long time dead    And you never hear the one that hits you no  Never did, never will  And you never hear the one that hits you no  Never did, never will  And you never hear the one that hits you no, no, no
