Lyrics

We Play the Game

You drink the wine

You play the fool

You cross the line

You lose your cool

But no one cares...

Still no one cares...

You raise the bar

Lost in a trance

One bridge too far

No second chance

But no one cares...

Still no one cares...

We play the game

We hold our own

We fight to win

We stand alone...

You had a dream

You cast the dice

Your shady scheme

You pay the price

But no one cares...

Still no one cares...

We play the game

With hearts of stone

You lose again

You're on your own...

A turning tide

A streak of light

Arms open wide

The end's in sight

And somone cares...

Yes someone cares...

We play the game

We hold our own

We fight to win

We stand alone...
