lyrics

IT'S A DANGEROUS GAME
THAT YOU WANT US TO PLAY
WHERE YOU'LL HURT EVERYONE
THAT MIGHT BE IN YOUR WAY
AND IT SEEMS THAT WE'RE FOOLS
WATCHING HISTORY REPEAT
BELIEVING WE'RE WON
WHEN WE'RE GETTING BEAT
WE PLAY THE GAME
I WISH NEVER WOULD BEGIN
WE PLAY THE GAME
THE ONE NOBODY EVER WINS

IT'S A DANGEROUS TIME
WHERE YOU MAKE YOUR OWN RULES
THERE'S NOT MUCH CONSEQUENCE
WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE MUCH TO LOSE
I'VE SEEN WHAT YOU OFFER
I'VE SEEN WHAT YOU BRING
YOU'VE LEARNED ALL TOO WELL THAT A STARVING MAN
WILL EAT ANYTHING
WE PLAY THE GAME
I WISH NEVER WOULD BEGIN
WE PLAY THE GAME
THE ONE NOBODY EVER WINS

IT'S A DANGEROUS GAME
WHERE YOU’RE TRYING TO SURVIVE
WHERE EVERYONE LOSES
ON EVERY SIDE

SO OF COURSE HOPE IS FLEETING
BUT I'LL DO WHAT I CAN
TO CHANGE THINGS UP
AND START OVER AGAIN
WE PLAY THE GAME
I WISH NEVER WOULD BEGIN
WE PLAY THE GAME
THE ONE NOBODY EVER WINS
