Just a Game - Grrrl Gang

Wizards of a modern age cast spells of electric power But the corporate strings that make them dance Lead up to an ivory tower There sit the fates in solitude, far from the public eye No one ever sees them smile and nothing makes them cry Welcome to the kingdom, the land of bought and sold A world of real-life fantasy where truths are seldom told Try hard to remember all that glitters is not gold You can pay the piper, but you cannot buy his soul CHORUS: It's just a game, you're in it all the way It's just a game, don't let yourself slip away It's such a shame, I heard somebody say It's just a game, and all I can do... is play What you do choose, now, what do you believe, now Who are you gonna trust? All you dreams and fancy schemes Just crumble into dust Calm and cool and computerized to calculate and collect We wait and watch and wonder Just which puppet they'll select Like the moth, too near the flame, Who learned his truth too late We're all too deep into the game That is the master of our fate The poets and the pipers have got their motives And you've got yours, no doubt And so the game continues That's what it's all about... CHORUS

Love is just a game Ooh ooh ooh ooh, yeah yeah yeah, telling you Ooh ooh ooh ooh, yeah yeah yeah, I'm telling you Ooh ooh ooh ooh, yeah yeah yeah, I'm telling you Ooh ooh ooh ooh, yeah yeah yeah, telling you Oh, listen babe Quit playing around like it's a game You tell me to go, you tell me to stay Living with you is emotional Roller coaster ride, like you're just gone and hide You're crossing the T's and dotting the I's Trying to make it work but you won't let me It's like you're fighting with yourself Baby I can tell that you really don't wanna leave Love is a game for you, I see But it means a lot more to me To ride it out when the going gets rough Then she closed the first real love Can't keep playing around with me If you really don't want me to leave If love is a game then I don't wanna play 'Cos there's someone out there for me Love is just a game Heard you on the phone just the other day Talking to your girls, telling you that I'm leaving If you didn't mean it then why did you say it 'Cos love, it ain't a game to me I'm packing my bags, here I go again Wanna kick me out, okay, well, I'm leaving And with those shorties came, so baby, tell me What's it gonna be Love is a game for you, I see But it means a lot more to me To ride it out when the going gets rough Then she closed the first real love Can't keep playing around with me If you really don't want me to leave If love is a game then I don't wanna play 'Cos there's someone out there for me 'Cos I'm tired of all the fussing and the fighting We can't keep just going on this way So tired, babe and angry Keep hurting me over and over and over again You're making me wanna leave You don't understand just what you're doing to me Maybe we're not meant to be Love is a game for you, I see But it means a lot more to me To ride it out when the going gets rough Then she closed the first real love Can't keep playing around with me If you really don't want me to leave If love is a game then I don't wanna play 'Cos there's someone out there for me Love is just a game Love is just a game Love is just a game Love is just a game

"It's dark, but just a game" That's what he would say to me The faces aren't the same But their stories all end tragically (Sweet, but whatever, baby) And that's the price of fame A tale as old as time, you'd be (Sweet, but whatever, baby) A pretty little fool to think exceptions still rule Just walk along, like you and me, this way But life is sweet, but whatever, baby You gotta take them for what they got And while the whole world is crazy We're getting high in a parking lot We keep changing all the time The best ones lost their minds So I'm not gonna change, I'll stay the same No rose left on the vines Don't even want what's mine, much less the fame It's dark, but just a game It's dark, but just a game It's dark, but just a game So play it like a symphony You know our love's the same They'll both go down in infamy I was a pretty little thing And God, I loved to sing But nothing came from either one but pain (but fuck it) Life is sweet, but whatever, baby Don't ever think it's not While the whole world is crazy We're making out in the parking lot We keep changing all the time The best ones lost their minds So I'm not gonna change, I'll stay the same No rose left on the vines Don't even want what's mine, much less the fame It's dark, but just a game We keep changing all the time The best ones lost their minds So I'm not gonna change, I'll stay the same No rose left on the vines Don't even want what's mine, much less the fame It's dark, but just a game It's dark, but just a game It's dark, but just-

If I give my love to you girl, will I get love in return? Or will I just get a fire, for as long as it will burn I'm not looking for a lover, I don't even want a friend I want this to last forever, and forever never ends Don't tell me lies or hypnotize me with your eyes While saying that you need me If this is just a one night stand, I'd rather turn around and walk away Don't hold me in your arms and run your fingers through my hair If you don't love me If this is just a game, well honey I don't think I really care to play I've trusted you before, babe and you always let me down I came back to you believing, I was more than just a clown You say it will be different, this time your love is real Honey don't make me believe you, if that ain't the way you feel Don't tell me lies or hypnotize me with your eyes While saying that you need me If this is just a one night stand, I'd rather turn around and walk away Don't hold me in your arms and run your fingers through my hair If you don't love me If this is just a game, well honey I don't think I really care to play Don't tell me lies or hypnotize me with your eyes While saying that you need me If this is just a one night stand, I'd rather turn around and walk away Don't hold me in your arms and run your fingers through my hair If you don't love me
