Steppenwolf - Every Man for Himself lyrics



Words and music by John Kay

Say the word and I'll turn you loose

I got mine now you get yours

Just like you I've got my price

Sure is nice that someone paid

I've got my ticket out of here

But for you, I fear, it's much too late

It's nothing you can blame me for

In love and war

It's every man for himself

All night long same old song

Play the game, come on strong

You're afraid to show your hand

You're not sure she'll understand

Your play

And when you finally leave alone

Do you think that when you're gone she'll say

"It's nothing I can blame him for

In love and war

It's every man for himself"

Tell me how it feels to cheat a friend

Can you lie and steal and feel no pain?

One dishonest dollar would burn my hand

How can you laugh about it?

I can't understand

From womb to tomb it's nip and tuck

Run your race and chase the buck

And it's dog eat dog down on the street

It's cat and mouse in the penthouse suite

Sanity is at a premium

Vanity just always seems to win

But oh, the prize looks so inviting

Shake hands and let the fight begin

It's nothing you can blame us for

In love and war

It's every man for himself
