The Game
Let's play a game
One where we make the rules
The ultimate prize
The highest of stakes, win or lose
Chance reveals all
Deciding its different moves
Fate isn't a friend
Fate divides the sheep from the wolves
Some play to win
Some play for fortune, some for fame
Some play for love
Of all, the most dangerous game
Forfeit or call
Elation or misery
But that's how it's played
And the house always gets its way
Evens and odds
Put it on red or black
Or die at the turn
Wagers or going bank
First blood is drawn
Parry, riposte, defend
We're playing for keeps
And holding a losing hand
Some play to win
Some play for fortune, some for fame
Some play for love
Of all, the most dangerous game
Forfeit or call
Elation or misery
But that's how it's played
And the house always gets its way
Everyone lies
Dressed up in misanthropic smiles
Planning their moves
The pieces they'll sacrifice
And they say, "All is fair"
No chance to resign in style
No winners, just fools
The game is just gun smoke and sharpened knives
Some play to win
Some play for fortune, some for fame
Some play for love
Of all, the most dangerous game
Forfeit or call
Elation or misery
But that's how it's played
And the house always gets its way
And some play to win
Some play for fortune, some play for fame
And some play for love
Of all, the most dangerous game
Forfeit or call
Elation or misery
But that's how it's played
And the house always gets its way
Always gets its way
One where we make the rules
The ultimate prize
The highest of stakes, win or lose
Chance reveals all
Deciding its different moves
Fate isn't a friend
Fate divides the sheep from the wolves
Some play to win
Some play for fortune, some for fame
Some play for love
Of all, the most dangerous game
Forfeit or call
Elation or misery
But that's how it's played
And the house always gets its way
Evens and odds
Put it on red or black
Or die at the turn
Wagers or going bank
First blood is drawn
Parry, riposte, defend
We're playing for keeps
And holding a losing hand
Some play to win
Some play for fortune, some for fame
Some play for love
Of all, the most dangerous game
Forfeit or call
Elation or misery
But that's how it's played
And the house always gets its way
Everyone lies
Dressed up in misanthropic smiles
Planning their moves
The pieces they'll sacrifice
And they say, "All is fair"
No chance to resign in style
No winners, just fools
The game is just gun smoke and sharpened knives
Some play to win
Some play for fortune, some for fame
Some play for love
Of all, the most dangerous game
Forfeit or call
Elation or misery
But that's how it's played
And the house always gets its way
And some play to win
Some play for fortune, some play for fame
And some play for love
Of all, the most dangerous game
Forfeit or call
Elation or misery
But that's how it's played
And the house always gets its way
Always gets its way
