It Don’t Work that Way

I‘ve watched your battles.
Struggle as you try to cope.
Wrestle with your demons.
Wrecks havoc with your hope.
There’s no easy access.
No shortcut for your life.
Sometimes you just can’t get there
no matter how you fight.

(Refrain)
It don’t work that way.
It don’t work that way.
Best laid plans. Another chance.
It don’t work that way.
World turns, it’s not concerned.
Cuz, it don’t work that way.
It don’t work that way.

You’re going nowhere.
Gettin’ there plenty fast.
Already wore out your shoes
from places you have past.
Walkin’ in big circles –
you’ve seen the scenes before.
Discover a new direction.
Get out and explore.

(refrain)

(Mid-8)
What if there was really gold at the rainbow’s end.
Unicorns, fairy dust and imaginary friends.
All the food we can eat, sweets without decay.
Fantasy is fiction, ‘cause it don’t work that way.

It don’t work that way.
It don’t work that way.

It don’t work that way.
