When the World Says No

[Verse 1]
Always on the outside looking in
You thought you were finished, but you didn't begin
That’s what they tell you when you try to climb
You got knocked down on the other side
You started with nothing and you finish that way
That's the way this game is played
It's all designed to keep you out
You were full of hope, and now you’re full of doubt

[Chorus]
When you do your best and the world says "no"
There's nothing you can do
When you try real hard and the world says "no"
There's nothing you can do
When the world says "no"

[Verse 2]
You did what you needed to do
But that didn't get you through
You played by the rules of their game
And thеy still didn't let you in

[Chorus]
You played by the rulеs and the world said "no"
There's nothing you can do
You tried real hard and the world said "no"
There's nothing that you can do
When the world says "no"

[Outro]
You played by the rules and the world said "no"
There's nothing you can do
You tried real hard and the world said "no"
There’s nothing that you can do
When the world says "no"
When the world says "no"
You played by the rules and the world said "no"
There’s nothing you can do
You tried real hard and the world said "no"
There's nothing that you can do
When the world says "no"
When the world says "no"
When the world says "no"
