There Are Forces

I’ve gone the full twelve rounds just to knockout
I’ve reached the mountain top just to trip and fall down
And everything I ever did from the playground to real life
It just did not work out

Many miles I’ve walked but in the wrong direction
Definitely no candidate for natural selection
In everything I ever did the good lord didn’t lend a hand
Not even if I called

There are forces that surround me
And these forces they are completely out of my control
And when I dare fight back I dare fight back I’ll find myself on the floor again
I’ve got that curse I just wanted to let you know

I tried my luck with you just to be pushed away
It’s always rain check baby rain check maybe another day
You’re everything I ever wished for the dream I used to have
Why did you let me down

I’ve seen my share of faces and so called friends
All those who make believe and others who pretend
In everything I ever did the good lord didn’t lend a hand
Not even if I crawled

Behind door number three
What lies waiting there for me
Behind door number four
Too long on the floor
Take it from me
Go ahead and take it all

There are fortunes that surround me
But I got bad luck in my blood and in my bones
And if I dare get high I dare get high I’ll find myself on the floor again
I’ve got that curse I just wanted to let you know
