Lyrics[edit | edit source]
No man ever was nor ever will be like the man called Hank McCain They could lock him up But they could never never stop him living up to his name Life had told him long ago The simple fact that he was on his own Life had told him not to count On anyone except himself alone
No one knew better than McCain Life is a very dirty game Very, very hard to win
No one knew better than McCain How to disregard the pain Never, never let it in
No one knew better than McCain What an angry man may do When it gets too hard to bare
No one knew better than McCain How to spit on the taboos As they thought he'd never dare
Hank McCain would not admit That there are things no man must ever touch Hank McCain could not believe The simple fact that there are things that may cost too much
Hank McCain was like a legend till the end He lived up to his name No man ever was nor ever will be like the man called Hank McCain
No one knew better than McCain That the man who thinks he's free Knocks his head against the wall
No one knew better than McCain Just how bitter life can be When you're beaten after all
No one knows better than McCain They're the ones who fixed the game They're the ones with loaded dice
No one knew better than McCain But they got him all the same And they made him pay the price
