[Spoken Intro]

Sometimes you kick

Sometimes you get kicked

Sometimes you kick

Yeah

Come on, come on, come on, come on, yeah

I look around, unsatisfied

At what they're giving me

But then I think to myself

Is there someone else

Oh, who feels the same as me?

Do you feel the same, baby?

When my back is broken

When the mountain moves away

All the dreams and promises

That we give

We give away

Sometimes you kick

Sometimes you get kicked

Sometimes you kick

Sometimes you get kicked

Yeah

Oh oh oh

[Saxophone solo]

Ah ah ah

Sometimes you kick

Sometimes you get kicked, oh

Sometimes you kick

Sometimes you get kicked, baby

Look ahead

But don't mix it up

Baby, look ahead

To better days and better ways

Make peace with flesh and blood

Make peace with your love

Nothing more I could ask of you

But in the end this is the truth

Oh-oh

Oh, when my back is broken

When the mountain moves away

All the dreams and promises

Well, that we give

We give away

Sometimes you kick

Sometimes you get kicked

Sometimes you kick

Sometimes you get kicked

Sometimes you kick

Sometimes you get kicked

Sometimes you kick, oh

Sometimes you get kicked

Sometimes you kick

Sometimes you get kicked, oh-oh
