Hey look who's payin' us a visit
It's the champ!
It isn't, is it?
Shut it! I was cheated!
No point in complainin', Rusty
Saying that the system's mean
They keep us down by fighting dirty
You won't win if you fight back clean
Once, maybe you play a hunch
Make it with a lucky punch
At the right time, in the right place
The rest of the time look out for your face
They won't give you the chance again
Just sit quiet in the back of the train
I'm Rocky the boxcar, there's lots like me
I'm Rocky Two
I'm Rocky Three
Let's do it man
If I had the chances, if I had the brakes
Coulda been a winner
I had what it takes
But I wasn't in the right place
At the right time
Didn't have the rhythm
Didn't have the rhyme
I wasn't in the right place
At the right time
Coulda been a contender
Coulda been a star
Never reached the final
Didn't get that far
'Cause I wasn't in the right place
At the right time
Didn't have the rhythm
Didn't have the rhyme
I wasn't in the right place
At the right time
Never beat the system
Never beat the rap
Don't believe the liars
Don't believe the crap
Dice are always loaded
Every time you roll
Got a winner's body
Got a loser's soul
'Cause I wasn't in the right place
At the right time
Didn't have the rhythm
Didn't have the rhyme
I wasn't in the right place
At the right time
Anytime they seem to open up the door
Slam it in your face and knock you to the floor
Tisn't only me, son
Tisn't only you
All of us are losers
All of us are through
Cause I wasn't in the right place
At the right time
Didn't have the rhythm
Didn't have the rhyme
I wasn't in the right place, wasn't in the right place
Wasn't in the right place
At the right time
