Just A Game |
Wizards of a modern age cast spells of electric power |
But the corporate strings that make them dance |
Lead up to an ivory tower |
There sit the fates in solitude, far from the public eye |
No one ever sees them smile and nothing makes them cry |
Welcome to the kingdom, the land of bought and sold |
A world of real-life fantasy where truths are seldom told |
Try hard to remember all that glitters is not gold |
You can pay the piper, but you cannot buy his soul |
It’s just a game, you’re in it all the way |
It’s just a game, don’t let yourself slip away |
It’s such a shame, I heard somebody say |
It’s just a game, and all I can do… is play |
What you do choose, now, what do you believe, now |
Who are you gonna trust? |
All you dreams and fancy schemes |
Just crumble into dust |
Calm and cool and computerized to calculate and collect |
We wait and watch and wonder |
Just which puppet they’ll select |
Like the moth, too near the flame |
Who learned his truth too late |
We’re all too deep into the game |
That is the master of our fate |
The poets and the pipers have got their motives |
And you’ve got yours, no doubt |
And so the game continues |
That’s what it’s all about… |
