Steppenwolf - Every Man For Himself Lyrics
Words and music by John KaySay the word and I'll turn you looseI got mine now you get yoursJust like you I've got my priceSure is nice that someone paidI've got my ticket out of hereBut for you, I fear, it's much too lateIt's nothing you can blame me forIn love and warIt's every man for himselfAll night long same old songPlay the game, come on strongYou're afraid to show your handYou're not sure she'll understandYour playAnd when you finally leave aloneDo you think that when you're gone she'll say"It's nothing I can blame him forIn love and warIt's every man for himself"Tell me how it feels to cheat a friendCan you lie and steal and feel no pain?One dishonest dollar would burn my handHow can you laugh about it?I can't understandFrom womb to tomb it's nip and tuckRun your race and chase the buckAnd it's dog eat dog down on the streetIt's cat and mouse in the penthouse suiteSanity is at a premiumVanity just always seems to winBut oh, the prize looks so invitingShake hands and let the fight beginIt's nothing you can blame us forIn love and warIt's every man for himself 1981 Rambunctious Music (ASCAP)
