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 insane





I've 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 tryin'

Got to stand up a gain

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
