You can't win them all 'Cause sometimes you fall flat on your face on the floor You can't win them all It's no good at all if you feel that your life is a bore
You've got to hang loose to keep from the noose And you've got to learn to use your brain You've got to live right and keep to the right Then, you're free if you don't go insane
I've seen a lot of people They've all blown it out You can't win them all is what they all shout You've got to keep tryin' Got to stand up a gain You can't lose them all, babe 'Cause one day you'll win
You've got to have taste or life is a waste And you don't ever tune yourself in You've got to keep on or they'll get you, my son And they know that you just can't win
