You Can't Win

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
