Murray McLauchlan - You Can't Win lyrics

When the good times come at last It's only when the bad times rest Someday they're going to lay you down Even though you did your best All the heroes of the wars Forgotten in the rain Old soldiers and memories Make them young again You can't win You can't win You're just someone who plays the fool You can't win You can't win I don't believe that life's so cruel I'm going to wear my finest suit Go walk around the town Strangle out this emptiness And smash it on the ground I'm gonna watch the faces on the children While they play Try and find the child in me And never have to say You can't win You can't win You're just someone who plays the fool You can't win You can't win I don't believe that life's so cruel
