Play Game
The-the-play, the-the-play game
(Yeah)
The-the-play, the-the-play game
Walk through Time's Square, and what do ya see?
Ugliness where architecture used to be
The glamour and style have been replaced by god
Like the sixty dollar spectacle, it's all a fraud
That's the play game (that's the play game)
So why do I want to play the play game?
That's the play game (that's the play game)
I must be insane to play the play game
Even off Broadway, it's no guarantee
That some MBA won't decide what you see
Just like America, lackin' innovation
Just gettin' by on glitz and reputation
Just likе America, on the declinе
Unconcerned with the product, just the bottom line
Write for the movies, write for TV
So what if it's crap? At least you won't write for free
Make thousands of dollars for a first draft
Your life won't depend on whether Frank's bitch left
So just forget Shakespeare, back in Moliere
That's the play game (that's the play game)
That's the play game (that's the play game)
That's the play game
Why do I care? (The play game, the play game, the play game)
(Yeah)
The-the-play, the-the-play game
Walk through Time's Square, and what do ya see?
Ugliness where architecture used to be
The glamour and style have been replaced by god
Like the sixty dollar spectacle, it's all a fraud
That's the play game (that's the play game)
So why do I want to play the play game?
That's the play game (that's the play game)
I must be insane to play the play game
Even off Broadway, it's no guarantee
That some MBA won't decide what you see
Just like America, lackin' innovation
Just gettin' by on glitz and reputation
Just likе America, on the declinе
Unconcerned with the product, just the bottom line
Write for the movies, write for TV
So what if it's crap? At least you won't write for free
Make thousands of dollars for a first draft
Your life won't depend on whether Frank's bitch left
So just forget Shakespeare, back in Moliere
That's the play game (that's the play game)
That's the play game (that's the play game)
That's the play game
Why do I care? (The play game, the play game, the play game)
