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 in-sane.
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 try-in', got to stand up again; 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.
