Wake up, eat food, wear clothes, act good,
Study like you know you should.
Come back home and set things straight
Then go to sleep, don't hesitate.
-------
Life's a game,
Games have rules,
We're all pieces,
Pawns and tools.
Know your part,
Do your turn,
Then shut your mouth,
Repeat.
-------
Be nice, be brave, be sweet, be strong,
Go to school and marry young.
Get a job and do it well,
Your future won't be hell.
-------
Life's a game,
Games have rules,
We're all pieces,
Pawns and tools.
Know your place,
Be content,
Then keep on keeping on.
-------
Sleep in, eat shit, stay home and hide,
There simply isn't hope outside.
Time's a sea, the days the tide,
I'm age-old wood, now petrified
-------
Life's a game,
Games have rules,
We're all pieces,
Pawns and tools.
Walk in place,
Wear a smile,
And try to hide your pain.
-------
Grow up, live on, and work to win
The game we're all embedded in.
Learn the rules and suffer through
There's nothing else that you can do.
-------
Life's a game,
Games have rules.
We're all broken,
We're all used.
Find your heart,
Make it grow,
And hope that that's enough.
