I Can't Win - The Deadeyes

Lyrics

Chorus (x2): 
I Can’t Win
Everyday
Law of averages
Says no way
Modern times
Wears me thin
(but) Better than
They used to been
“Mushroom cloud
Smoking gun” 
Wasn’t really
Too much fun
What comes next
Who can know? 
Hold on everybody
Here we go 

Verse 1: 
You’ve read about it, heard about it
Now it’s time to have your say
I would give a dollar for
Some 10-cent lovin’ any day
(some) Times I think about
The last guitar song that I ever play 

Chorus 2: 
Modern times
Wears me thin
(but) Better than
They used to been
What comes next
Who can know? 
Hold on everybody
Here we go 

Verse 2: 
The Pogues are blasting in the basement
Gentlemen Soldier, Jess James
(ain’t) Trying to incite no riot
A rose by any other name
Forget about the Troglodytes
Their hair and shoes look all the same 

>Bridge< 

Chorus 3: 
I Can’t Win
Everyday
Law of averages
Says no way
What comes next
Who can know? 
Hold on everybody
Here we go 

Verse 3: 
I don’t wanna sound like Elvis
I know I can’t sing the blues
I been out her so long
Think I’m paying some one else’s dues
And just when you can’t take no more
It’s bing bong llama llama ding dong mau mau
