|
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 |
|
CHORUS: 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... |
|
CHORUS |
