Now do you ever feel it's just you against the universe?
Like you've been touched by a duppy or a voodoo curse?
And what's worse is the threats invisible
And soon success and defeat are indivisible
Try as you may you always seem to fail
Like a dog getting dizzy just chasing his tail
Even when you succeed you still get bit in the bum
You're aiming at the nail but only hitting the thumb
Trying to grab the cookie but only gripping the crumb
And the figures don't tally or even fit in the sum
Now you can flip that coin any which way you choose
But it's heads you don't win and tails you lose
It's a no win situation
You get damned if you don't and damned if you do
A no win situation
It's a vicious circle a catch 22
Stuck between a rock and a hard place
Sick of all the plot twists but can't cut to the car chase
The fast paced foot to the floor type of scene
A one man team trying to fight a machine
There's no steam without heat and no smoke without flame
Steady hating on nature just can't cope without blame
But like spit in the brain actions seem insignificant
Futile resistance affects our indifference
In every direction steady hading off track
But the only way is onwards now there's no going back
Now you can flip that coin any which way you choose
But it's heads you don't win and tails you lose
Straight from the frying pan and into the fire
Run to the rope for rescue but it's made of barbed wire
A hard trier perseveres with nothing to show
'Cos you're making a wrong turn whichever way you go
So whatcha gonna do, which way is it now?
Heading down a dead end with no way out
You can pray to St Jude to save another helpless cause
But you're standing in the dock accused of breaking Murphy's laws
And there's only one verdict in the kangaroo courtroom
And it ain't a bit to do with luck or good fortune
Now you can flip that coin any which way you choose
But its heads you don't win and tails you lose
