I Just Can'T Win
Will I ever get it right
You shove it all in my face
All day and all night
My mistakes I can't erase
Up is down
Black is white
I'm not allowed to frown
I'm not allowed to fight
I slip
I fall
I trip
I crawl
I try so hard
Only to fall flat
My body is scarred
From when the blood spat
We've had this chat
I have to begin again
I feel like a rat
I just can't win
