If life were a game it would be easy to win
All you would have to do is take a roll or a spin
Games can be cheated and short cuts taken
This is why life, for a game can’t be mistaken
Life isn’t easy or half the time any fun
There aren’t any winners or any number ones
There’s no prize for doing your best
No “good job pal”, nor “you deserve some rest”
As children we love to play the game
Laughing and joking it’s all the same
But we grow up, and feign responsibility
We see the true game of life, and it’s many twists and turns
Take three steps back, and never stop and learn
That if life is a game and we are its pieces
We just have to sit back and let the game unfold.

But we grow up, and feign responsibility
We see the true game of life, and it’s many twists and turns
Take three steps back, and never stop and learn
That if life is a game and we are its pieces
We just have to sit back and let the game unfold.
