You Can't Win

What the man says is always right
He'll cuff your hands so you can't fight
There is no way of getting around it
He'll lock you up and in your head he'll pound it
Destruction is the only road you're headed for
There isn't any road behind those steel doors
You just can't win
Destruction is the only road you're headed for
There isn't any roads behind those steel doors
You just can't win
You can't win, you can't win
You can't win, you can't win
You can't win
