(Sung door Michael Jackson)
u can't win
u can't break even
And u can't get out of the game
People keep sayin'
Things are gonna change
But they look just like they're staying the same
u get in
Way over your head
And you've only got yourself to blame
u can't win, chile
u can't break even
And u can't get out of the game
u 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 u lay back
And u smoke that smoke
And u drink your glass of wine
u can't win, chile
u can't break even
And u can't get out of the game
u can't win
u can't win
No way if your story stays the same
u ain't winnin'
But it's nice to see you
I'm awfully glad u came
Better cool it (Phew!)
'Cause it ain't about losin'
Then the world has got no shame
u can't win, chile
u can't break even
And u can't get out of the game
u can't win
u can't win
u 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 ride free
Learn your lesson, refuel your mind
Before some turkey blows out your flame
Say u can't win, chile
u can't break even
And u can't get out of the game
u can't get out (hoo!)
Of the game
u can't win
u can't break even
And u can't get out of the game
People keep sayin'
Things are gonna change
But they look just like they're staying the same
u get in
Way over your head
And you've only got yourself to blame
u can't win, chile
u can't break even
And u can't get out of the game
u 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 u lay back
And u smoke that smoke
And u drink your glass of wine

And u can't get out of the game
u can't get out (hoo!)
Of the game
There is a place we'll go
Where there is mostly quiet
Flowers and butterflies
A regenboog lives beside it
And from a velvet sky
A summer storm
u can feel the coolness in the air
But you're still warm
And then a mighty roar
Will start the sky
To cryin'
But not even light'ning
Will be frightening my lion
And with no fear inside
No need to run
No need to hide
You're standing strong and tall
You're the bravest of them all
If on courage
u must call
Then just keep on tryin'
And tryin'
And tryin'
You're a lion
In your own way
Be a lion
Come on be a lion
I'm standing strong and tall
You're the bravest of them all
If on courage u must call
Keep on tryin'
And tryin'
And tryin'
I'm a lion
In my own way
I'm a lion
A lion
A lion
A lion
Where there is mostly quiet
Flowers and butterflies
A regenboog lives beside it
And from a velvet sky
A summer storm
u can feel the coolness in the air
But you're still warm
And then a mighty roar
Will start the sky
To cryin'
But not even light'ning
Will be frightening my lion
And with no fear inside
No need to run
No need to hide
You're standing strong and tall
You're the bravest of them all
If on courage
u must call
Then just keep on tryin'
And tryin'
And tryin'
You're a lion
In your own way
Be a lion
Come on be a lion
I'm standing strong and tall
You're the bravest of them all
If on courage u must call
Keep on tryin'
And tryin'
And tryin'
I'm a lion
In my own way
I'm a lion
A lion
A lion
