Stupid Games, Stupid Prizes
Once upon a time
Well, not so long ago
A tiny man with an oversized ego kept thinking bold
He craved power and pride blaming others for his faults
He spoke in fear and lies
Breaking every rule sure turned him on
He acted cruel to hide how fragile he really was
Sounds familiar, right?
Nothing's changed, he's in us all
I can see the bloodthirst in your eyes
I can see the desire to dominate
Keep playing stupid games
You might win stupid prizes
The world will know your name
Ain't it so absurd that we still haven't learned to quench our deep bloodthirst, no?
Millions of years have passed, there's still just one rule to this game
Try outrunning death, stars fade, kingdoms crumble but we stay the same
Products, oil, shareholders, gods, ethnicity, love, feuds or fame
Always a new type of excuse to pillage, pilfer and slay
Keep going
Your legacy will be painted in blood-red colours
Winners write history and I can tell that you have what it takes to be the winner
So please...
Keep playing these stupid games so that we can keep winning the stupid prizes
The reward for your patience and dedication in this game is another round to determine the truly dominant, omnipotent, everlasting individual numero uno
