Lyrics
You know that beggars can't be choosers
That's what the wise men always say
Got your winners and your losers
I wanna win
And go my own way
I'll take it slow when I'm able
Draw no lines in the sand
I'll lay my cards out on the table
And let you see
What's in my hand
I know the score
Nice guys finish last
I know the ropes
You get yourself tangled up if you move too fast
I know what's up
A dollar saved is a penny earned
Pass the buck and you won't get burned
Don't look back
Don't look back
No don't look back
Don't count your chickens before they're hatched
Don't look back
Don't look back
No don't look back
Don't hold your breath and keep your head attached
I know the score
Nice guys finish last
I know the ropes
You get yourself tangled up if you move too fast
I know what's up
A dollar saved is a penny earned
Pass the buck and you won't get burned
Take the path of least resistance
Take the bull by the horns
Walk the walk but keep your distance
'Cause every rose
Has it's own thorns
Don't look back
Don't look back
No don't look back
You laugh best when you laugh last
Don't look back
Don't look back
No don't look back
You can't change what's in the past
Beat your swords into plowshares
Bang your head against the wall
All this talk will get you nowhere
This philosophy
Is keepin you small
Don't look back
Don't look back
No don't look back
Don't count your chickens before they're hatched
Don't look back
Don't look back
No don't look back
Don't hold your breath and keep your head attached
