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) |
