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
