lyrics

You can try, but you can't win.
You can cry, but you won't push me around I see what's going on, going on.
So you can try, but you can't win.
And you can cry, but you won't push me around I see what's going on, ooh...

You pretend to be a friend, you alienator.
You're better off disguising yourself as an alligator...
'Cause you bite all those you think are weaker than you,
yes you bite all those you think are weaker than you.

So you can try, but you can't win.
You can cry, but you won't push me around I see what's going on, going on.
So you can try, but you can't win.
And you can cry, but you won't push me around I see what's going on, ooh...

You pretend to be a friend, you alienator.
You're better off disguising yourself as an alligator...
'Cause you bite all those you think are weaker than you,
yes you bite all those you think are weaker than you.

So you can try, but you can't win.
You can cry, but you won't push me around I see what's going on, going on.
So you can try, but you can't win.
And you can cry, but you won't push me around I see what's going on, ooh...
