[Verse 1] When we fight a war Scuffed skin bleeds Everyone so tall We can't see Breathing on the flames Won't cease fire And when you're wrapped in chains You can't aspire [Chorus] No when the water's freezing cold You can't swim And as you get too old You live with aching limbs So you hit your goal But you're too behind You fight to keep your soul But you fight blind [Chorus] 'Cause you can't win Always been Written in the stars that you can't win [Verse 2] When you're near the peak You can't reach When truth is all you seek They can't preach You're dancing cheek to cheek With the devil's bride And you'll never lose this seat To which your hands are tied [Chorus] 'Cause you can't win Always been Written in the stars that you can't win [Bridge] When they know the truth they're gonna let you When they know the truth they're gonna let you When they know the truth they're gonna let you Oh when they know the truth they're gonna let you down [Chorus] You can't win Always been Written in the stars that you can't win You can't win Always been Written in the stars that you can't win
