ColdtrainBlues - I Can't Catch A Break lyrics

1. two thousand one, was my release. fresh out of the pen, now i'm back on the street, got a new mindset, and a brand new plan, gettin' back on my feet, keep away from the man; 2. on parole no time for play, givin' up the fast life, gonna start a new day, they gave me a number, took away my name, gotta do things right, and gotta play the game; bridge then a change came charging in, (charging in) cause it's a cruel cruel world, (cruel world) some times it's even hard, to trust your own little girl, (i can't catch a break no) but you gotta stay strong my brother, 'til' the very end (very end) cause your truth, and your honor, you got to defend, i can't get a break, (i can't catch a break, can't get a break) x 2; 3. two thousand and four, i got set up at my front door, ooh ain't it a shame, the way the man plays the game, i got a brand new number, with a brand new deal, hard to believe, but the story is so real; 4. now i'm in a program, gotta see the man once a month, dressed up in a monkey suit, lookin' like a dummy, in a store front, 5. two thousand and five, to two double o six, had to pick up my life, and get back in the mix; go to bridge solo then a change came charging in, (charging in) cause it's a cruel cruel world, (cruel world) some times it's even hard, to trust your own little girl, (i can't catch a break no) but you gotta stay strong my brother, 'til' the very end (very end) cause in order to survive, you can't never give in, (i can't catch a break, can't get a break) (i can't catch a break, can't get a break) bridge
