Man, you've been runnin' the numbers
And that ain't never been good
Coming up short again?
I had a feeling you would...
Can't take it with you - but I know you'll try...
Working the angles
Cutting them close
Putting the screws to the ones that need you the most
Can't take it with you - but I know you'll try
Nowhere to run to - nowhere to hide
You lay it on thick - but you always do
People are talking - and every word is true
Not for nothing- but I got news for you
This ends badly - and it doesn't look good for you...
More bitter than angry - like something broken inside
I'd swallow it down (But) it's getting harder to hide
Can't take it with you - but I know you'll try
Nowhere to run to - nowhere to hide
It doesn't look good for you...
