One Step Forward (Two Steps Back)

Every time I try to get a break
It's unlucky, find myself, center stage
When I think I'm on the right track
I take one step forward and two steps back

Every time I try to get ahead
There's lots a people that are being mislead
That is why what I'm wearing is black
I take one step forward and two steps back

I can't seem to find it, can't even see the trees
Am I hard pressed in the knees?
I struggle for this one, reach out for that
I take one step forward and two steps back

One step forward and two steps back
I take one step forward and two steps back, yeah
