Lyrics
I Just Can't Make It
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.
Gonna sit out the summer on the esplanade,
Make a little spending money washing cars,
Sit here, drink beer, looking for fun,
But you won't catch me working for anyone.
CHORUS:
I just can't make it
You built this world up just for people like you,
I just can't make it,
Won't see me living the way you do
You pay your taxes and I'll have the good time,
Hanging around the unemployment line,
You're trying to tell me that I'll live in hell,
But you don't seem to understand yourself.
I just can't make it
You built this world up just for people like you,
I just can't make it,
Won't see me living the way you do
Oh this ain't exactly heaven,
Don't know if I'll laugh or cry,
But I'll do my best and I'll keep on searching,
Just to have a good time.
I just can't make it
You built this world up just for people like you,
I just can't make it,
Won't see me living the way you do
