The Wiz, Starring Michael Jackson, Diana Ross and others

te can't win
te can't break even
And te can't get out of the game
People kee sayin'
Things are gonna change
But they look us like
You're stayin' the same

te can't win
Get over your head
And te only have yourself to blame
te can't win chile
(you can't win chile)
te ain't break even
And te can't get out of the game

te can't win
The world keeps movin'
And you're standin' far behind
People keep sayin'
Things'll get better
(just to ease your state of mind)
(so te lean back, and te smoke that smoke)
(and te drink your glass of wine)
So te can't win, chile
te can't break even
And te can't get out of the game

te can't win, te can't win no way
If your story stays the same
(you ain't winnin'),
No, no,
(but it's nice to see you)

(I'm awfully glad te came)
(better cool it 'cause
It ain't abour losin')
Then the world has got no shame
te can't win, chile
te can't break even
te can't get out of the game

te can't win
te can't break even
Ain't the way it's supposed to be
(you'll be spendin'),
No, no
(your little bit of money)
While someone else rides for free
(learn your lesson), ooh,
(refuel your mind)
(before someone blows out your flame)

te can't win, chile. no!
te can't win
te can't win, chile. no!
te can't win
te can't win, chile. no!
te can't win
te can't win, chile. no!
te can't win

te can't win, chile
te can't break even
And te can't get out of the game
te can't get out of the game
te can't get out (ugh!) of the game
No, no...
