A wistful voice-and-piano recording. Despite the negative aspect, this song portrays resilience and optimism — important qualities these days.

"You Can't Win" (as recorded by Murray McLauchlan)
When the good times come at last
Is only when the bad times rest
Someday they're going to lay you down
Even though you did your best
All the heroes of the wars
Forgotten in the rain
Old soldiers and memories
Make them young again
You can't win
You can't win
You're just someone who plays the fool
You can't win
You can't win
I don't believe that life's so cruel
I'm going to wear my finest suit
Go walk around the town
Strangle out this emptiness
And smash it on the ground
I'm going to watch the faces on the children
While they play
Try and find the child in me
And never have to say
You can't win...
