Try to understand what I'm going through Don't blame me for what folks will do For some of us it's not a good time But, you're going to get choosed to And you'd better resign yourself You get what you deserve You ought to find out what it's worth And you've gotta have a lotta nerve. You just do what pleases you Go on and sigh out every move You gonna get place in the scene All God's orphans get face in the dream now Too bad such a drag So much pain went down the drain And a lot of us ain't got many friends
