Try to understand what I'm going through
And don't blame me for what folks will do
For some of us it's not a good time
But you're going to get used to and you'd better resign yourself

You get what you deserve
You ought to find out what it's worth
And you've gotta have a lotta nerve

You just do what pleases you
And go on and try out every move
You're going to get place in the scene
All god's orphans get face in the dream, now

You get what you deserve
You ought to find out what it's worth
And you've gotta have a lotta nerve

Oh

Too bad, such a drag, ow
So much pain down the drain
And a lot of us ain't got many friends

Try to understand what I'm going through
And don't blame for what folks will do
For some of us it's not a good time
But you're going to get used to and you'd better resign yourself

You get what you deserve
You ought to find out what it's worth
And you've gotta have a lotta nerve
You get what you deserve
