You Never Hear The One That Hits You Lyrics - Tinderbox - Stiff Little Fingers

You never hear the one that hits you, no! 

Well, you work real hard and you stay in line 

Got your nose to the grindstone all the time 

Then they say, "I'm sorry and I know it's hard 

But there ain't no work, just pick up your cards" 

And you never hear the one that hits you no 

Never did, never will 

You never hear the one that hits you no 

Never did, never will 

You never hear the one that hits you no, no, no 

So you send applications all over town 

and the only replies are to turn you down 

Then after months someone's on the phone 

And you get to the interview the job's long gone 

And you never hear the one that hits you no 

Never did, never will 

You never hear the one that hits you no 

Never did, never will 

You never hear the one that hits you no, no, no 

Sneaks up behind you and hits you in the head 

So you reach the point where you just don't care 

And you've made up your mind to live on fresh air 

Cos it doesn't matter what's been done or said 

And you better start living, you're a long time dead 

And you never hear the one that hits you no 

Never did, never will 

And you never hear the one that hits you no 

Never did, never will 

And you never hear the one that hits you no, no, no
