The Long Game

The long game, playing the long game, he's playing the long game
We really don't know, how far he will lead us
We really don't care, beyond the front of our nose
But I know he's playing the long game

So we gotta do the same
Don't look at them, and be filled with shame
Because he's playing the long game
When I was young, all I cared about was fun

Eyes bigger than my belly, loaded more than my fill
Yet still felt empty in my soul and my will
If only I know how to be tame
But I know he's playing the long game

So we gotta do the same
Don't look at them, and be filled with shame
Because he's playing the long game
Thought it was checkers, no it ain't, oh no

Thought it was chess, well it ain't no more
You better get dressed, reapers at the door
Still I know, he's playing the long game
So we gotta do the same

Don't look at them, and be filled with shame
Because he's playing the long game
Be sure to be ready
Yeah, you're gonna survive

Just keep yourself steady, so your soul can revive
So we'll see, you must be insane
But I know, he's playing the long game
So we gotta do the same

Don't look at them, and be filled with shame
Because he's playing the long game
