Can’t Beat The Music

Lyrics and Chords

A – – – G RIFF Throughout

Fell into this world in debt and shame
And when I leave it will be the same
All my days I’ve been plagued
By those who try in sleek and subtle ways
Sleek and subtle ways
Ah, but let me say ;

You can’t beat the music
Never beat the music
Can’t beat the music
Out of me

I kicked against the pricks

Chased my tail?My preoccupation
Note #3 in the scale
I’ve been a slave, a slave of a kind
But freedom is a state of mind
It’s a state of mind
And I think you’ll find ;

You can’t beat the music
Never beat the music
Can’t beat the music
Out of me

People they say to me,
“DIdn’t you used to be somebody” ?

My head’s a sulphur mine
My heart is a boulder
I was born with a chip on my shoulder
Like the devil before me
My pitch was queered
Except that I wasn’t pushed, I jumped
Took the plunge and plumped
For a solo career

You can’t beat the music
Never beat the music
Can’t beat the music
Out of me

Never beat the music
Can’t beat the music

But freedom is a state of mind
It’s a state of mind
And I think you’ll find ;

You can’t beat the music
Never beat the music
Can’t beat the music

You can’t beat the music
Never beat the music
Can’t beat the music
Out of me
