it doesn't really work like that

[Verse 1]
It doesn’t matter how you start
As long as you start it
You’ll wish you made a little effort
Before you’re departed
So do it any way you can
You don’t have to be your biggest fan
You wish it all came to you
And you didn’t have to raise a hand

[Chorus]
It doesn’t really work like that
It’s something I had to learn
It doesn’t really go the way you want it to
There are some things you have to earn
There’s barely any odds in your favour
You need some manual labour
You can’t rely on anyone
You’ve gotta be your own saviour

[Verse 2]
It doesn’t matter how it looks
As long as it’s finished
It doesn’t matter how it sounds
If it’s got its own lyrics
So get it all out of your system
It doesn’t matter if anyone listens
You want it all at once
Skip the hustle, go straight to the riches

[Chorus]
It doesn’t really work like that
It’s something I had to learn
It doesn’t really go the way you want it to
There are some things you have to earn
There’s barely any odds in your favour
You need some manual labour
You can’t rely on anyone
You’ve gotta be your own saviour
