You Never Hear the One That Hits You

You never hear the one that hits you, no!

Well, you work real hard and you stay in line

Got your nose to the grindstone all the time

Then they say, "I'm sorry and I know it's hard

But there ain't no work, just pick up your cards"

And you never hear the one that hits you no

Never did, never will

You never hear the one that hits you no

Never did, never will

You never hear the one that hits you no, no, no

So you send applications all over town

and the only replies are to turn you down

Then after months someone's on the phone

And you get to the interview the job's long gone

And you never hear the one that hits you no

Never did, never will

You never hear the one that hits you no

Never did, never will

You never hear the one that hits you no, no, no

Sneaks up behind you and hits you in the head

So you reach the point where you just don't care

And you've made up your mind to live on fresh air

Cos it doesn't matter what's been done or said

And you better start living, you're a long time dead

And you never hear the one that hits you no

Never did, never will

And you never hear the one that hits you no

Never did, never will

And you never hear the one that hits you no, no, no
