lyrics

There are worse ways to earn a buck
than trading blows with lady luck,
the hidden hand to which the puppet's strung.
You can't please everyone.

In the gutters, on the balconies,
I've been bouncing on the bee's knees.
Is the honey worth being stung?
You can't please everyone.
You can't please everyone.

My old lady says "get a job;
you don't paid to be a heartthrob."
Different ladders have different rungs.
You can't please everyone.

People say you've been getting around.
They're just crows and they're making sounds.
There's nothing wrong with having fun.
You can't please everyone.

You play hard, people gonna get hurt.
Show them your garden and they throw dirt.
A kiss can kill sure as any gun.
You can't please everyone.

It was raw now it's overdone.
You know you should have turned tail and run.
There's no quitting once the game's begun.
You can't please everyone.
You can't please everyone.

The young get old and the old get young.
They find the moon but they lose the Sun.
There's always lead in a silver tongue.
You can't please everyone.
You can't please everyone.
