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”
