you get what you deserve

try to understand what i'm going through

don't blame me for what folks will do

for some of us it's not a good time

but you've gotta to get used to it

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 lot of nerve

you just do what pleases you

go on and sigh out every move

you're gonna get a place in the scene

all god's orphans get face in the dream

you get what you deserve

you ought to find out what it's worth

and you've gotta have a lot of nerve

too bad

such a drag

so much pain

down the drain

a lot of us ain't got many friends

try to understand what i'm going through

don't blame me for what folks will do

for some of us it's not a good time

but you've gotta to get used to it

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 lot of nerve

you get what you deserve
