Nobody promised you it would be easy
Not even fair
But lot of people said
Lean on me
And they weren't there

If it's any consolation
We're all the same
And if you lose your head
You lose the game

And it's all an uphill run
You know it ain't much fun
You know we're all the same
Turn you round again, again

Everyone said
Come over here and be like me
I didn't want to know
Ain't no place to be
If it's any consolation
You're all the same
But it's a different face
With a different name

But it's all an uphill run
You know it ain't much fun
You know you're just the same
Caught up in the game again
I'm gonna tell you something
You must believe
I've got a hat full of jokes
Waiting up my sleeve
Forget cancellation, I know the game
It's a different face
But the name's the same

And it's all an uphill run
You know it ain't much fun
You know we're all the same
And I'll turn you round again, again
