There's No Way To Win

There’s No Way To Win By Elton Camp Anything’s wrong in some folk’s eyes Whatever you do, they will criticize Damned if you do, damned if you don’t For any action you take, they’ll taunt Try to be friendly instead of curt “He’s nothing but an old flirt.” But if you should hold aloof, Of snobbery, they see proof With your spending be wise “What a miser” is no surprise But if you spend and never save “How irresponsible, they’ll rave Speak against practices gay “Homophobia,” they’ll say But others’ view tolerate “An evil man,” they berate To people like that, I’ll tell “Why don’t you just go to hell”
