Every time I try to get a break It's unlucky, find myself, center stage When I think I'm on the right track I take one step forward and two steps back Every time I try to get ahead There's lots a people that are being mislead That is why what I'm wearing is black I take one step forward and two steps back I can't seem to find it, can't even see the trees Am I hard pressed in the knees? I struggle for this one, reach out for that I take one step forward and two steps back One step forward and two steps back I take one step forward and two steps back, yeah
