| Piece by piece, they move across the gameboard
|
| Thinking, planning, plotting how to squish
|
| The rest are merely players to defeat
|
| Or better yet, turn to puppets on a string
|
| The masquerade of adulthood is warning
|
| Hidden faces take secrets to the grave
|
| Hypnotized, their eyes are on the price
|
| Painted smiles play the adult game
|
| One step forward, it’s another couple backward
|
| Testing waters, gambling their precious
|
| Lives can change for the good or for the bad
|
| Blink of an eye, poke their face until they die
|
| The masquerade of adulthood is warning
|
| Hidden faces take secrets to the grave
|
| Hypnotized, their eyes are on the price
|
| Painted smiles play the adult game
|
| Piece by piece, they move across the gameboard
|
| Thinking, planning, plotting how to squish
|
| The rest are merely players to defeat
|
| Or better yet, turn to puppets on a string
|
| Checkmate sign to cease afraid
|
| That’s how they play the adult game |
