They told me streets were made with gold But don't believe the things you're told Oh, the whole world wants to bring you down And if you're sensitive you drown That's why you've got to sink or swim Which ones you lose, which you win The blues, oh yeah They said before you ask, say please And so I lived on bread and cheese Oh, I soon found out I could go on And now I'm eating caviar That's why you've got to sink or swim Which ones you lose, which you win The blues, oh yeah Sink or swim Which ones you lose, which you win The blues, oh right Sink or swim Sink or swim Get up off your knees Which ones you lose, which you win The blues, oh yeah
