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
