Lyrics and translation
Original
Never been one for the roses. I never counted my luck.
I don't believe that broken roads in life will ever get you stuck. Never been, never been much of a player.
You end up losing the game.
It's like you're betting on sunshine while you're standing in the pouring rain.
I've been on the wrong side of the city, dying out the wrong side of the night.
Falling down while sure ain't looking pretty.
We get it wrong before we get it right.
Na-na-na-na, na, na-na-na-na-na. Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na.
Na-na-na-na, na, na-na-na-na-na.
Get it wrong before we get it right.
Took a long time to remember, but no time to forget.
We get blind eyed on forevers 'cause a rambler put a dream in your head.
I've been on the wrong side of the city, dying out the wrong side of the night. Falling down while sure ain't looking pretty.
We get it wrong before we get it right.
Na-na-na-na, na, na-na-na-na-na.
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na. Na-na-na-na, na, na-na-na-na-na.
Get it wrong before we get it right.
I say no guts, no glory, I'm off the beaten track.
'Cause all the gold before me comes from all the mess behind my back.
Yeah, I've been on the wrong side of the city, dying out the wrong side of the night.
Falling down while sure ain't looking pretty. We get it wrong before we get it right.
Na-na-na-na, na, na-na-na-na-na.
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na. Na-na-na-na, na, na-na-na-na-na.
Get it wrong before we get it right.
