Lyrics
You can't win
You can't break even
And you can't get out of the game
People keep sayin', things are gonna change
But I know it's just staying the same
'Cause you get in way over your head
You've only got yourself to blame
You can't win, child
Can't break even
You can't get out of the game
Ooh, you can't win
The world keep movin'
And you're just standin' behind
People keep sayin' things'll get better
To change your state of mind
So you lean back
And you smoke that smoke
You drink your glass of wine
You can't win, child
You can't break even
You can't get out of the game
You can't win
You can't win
No way, if your story stays the same
You ain't winnin'
But it's nice to see you
I'm awfully glad you came
Better cool it
'Cause it ain't about losin'
The world has got no shame
You can't win, child
You can't break even
You can't get out of the game
You can't get out of the game (woo!)
You can't win, no way
You can't win, no way
You can't win
You can't win, child
You can't win
You can't win
Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
Step right up and save a life
Slide some oil to me
Let it trickle down my spine
If you don't have STP
Crisco will do just fine
Slide some oil to me
I'm beginning to feel just fine, fine
Slide some oil down my throat
And let me lubricate my mind
Yes! Let me lubricate my mind
Roar! Say what you wanna
But I'm here to stay
'Cause I'm a mean ole lion
You can go where you're wanna
But don't get in my way
I'm a mean ole lion
You'll be standing in a draft
If you don't hear me laugh
If you happen to come around
You best not make me frown
'Cause I just might knock you down
I'm a mean ole lion
How dare you touch the personage of a king?
You tacky package of horse fodder
Be gone, you little mangy mutt!
You, get out of here, dog
Roar! Roar!
I'm a mean ole lion
All you strangers better beware
This is the king, king of the jungle here
And if I happen to let you slide
Don't stand there, run and hide
You just caught my better side
I'm a mean ole lion
Mean ole lion
I'm a mean ole lion
I'm the king of the jungle
Roar! Roar!
