Testo Can't Win - Richard Thompson
Testo della canzone Can't Win (Richard Thompson), tratta dall'album The Capitol Years
I started to cry, they put gin in my cup
I started to crawl and they swaddled me up
I got up and run, they said "Easy son
Play up, play the game"
They told me to think then forget what I heard
They told me to lie and they questioned my word
They told me to fail, better sink than sail
Just play the game
Oh, towers will tumble and locusts will visit the land
Oh, a curse on your house and your
Children and the fruits of your hand
They said you can't win, you can't win
You sweat blood, you give in
You can't win, you can't win
Turn the cheek, take it on the chin
Don't you dare do this and don't you dare do that
We shoot down dreams with stiletto in the back
Oh the nerve of some people
The nerve of some people
The nerve of some people
I don't know who you think you are
Who you think you are
Oh what kind of mother would hamstring her sons?
Throw sand in their eyes and put ice on their tongues
I've heard her to leave and stay here and grieve
And play the game
Don't awaken the dead as you sleepwalk around
If you have a dream brother hush not a sound
Just stand there and rust, die if you must
But play the game
Oh, we can't have it, why should a wretch like you?
Oh, if we're turning our heads now we're drilling into heads too
They said you can't win, you can't win
You sweat blood, you give in
You can't win, you can't win
Turn the cheek, take it on the chin
Don't you dare do this and don't you dare do that
We shoot down dreams with stiletto in the back
Oh the nerve of some people
The nerve of some people
The nerve of some people
I don't know who you think you are
Who you think you are
Oh the nerve of some people
The nerve of some people
The nerve of some people
I don't know who you think you are
Who you think you are
