Lyrics
Nobody Can Win
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well, I set myself up big time this time
With the notion that you try your best
And everyone wins
But nothing ever goes that smoothly
And it won't end like a movie
Where the good guy always wins
Until you figure out a way you can live without stories without happy ends
Everyone I know is trying to get by
Fighting all the half-true lies
Nobody can win
The fill you up with expectation, innovations, predictions, that can't possibly fly
Cinderella's waiting tables, and the princess never did wake up
That's how it begins
Until you figure out a way that you can live without stories with happy ends
Everyone I know is trying to get by, fighting all the half-true lies
Nobody can win, nobody can win, nobody can win
