The Skin Game

[Intro]

See you, you in there dancin'

And I'm in here needin' questions answered

[Verse 1]

Contestants enter

Without knowin'

Try to learn the rules

No one's showing

Equal chances (What?)

No one loses

Not much can beat the odds

No excuses

Let's play the skin game

(Skin game)

(Skin game)

[Verse 2]

The stage is set

So let's get started

Try to be the best

But don't be outsmarted

You know what you're up against

No need to complain

Try to figure out

The best way to play

To play the skin game

[Chorus]

The skin game is still around (Skin game)

But you can't keep a good man down

The skin game is still around (Skin game)

But you can't keep a good man down (Playin' the skin game)

The skin game is still around (Skin game)

But you can't keep a good man down

Can't, can't can't can't

Can't, can't can't can't keep a good man down

(And I'm in here needin' questions answered)

The skin game is still around (Skin game)

But you can't keep a good man down (Playin' the skin game)

The skin game is still around (Skin game)

But you can't keep a good man down (Playin' the skin game)

The skin game is still around (Skin game)

But you can't keep a good man down (Playin' the skin game)

The skin game is still around (Skin game)

But you can't keep a good man down

(And I'm here needin' questions answered)

[Bridge]

Outside looking in

The door is open but you can't get in

Something's in the way

It's a skin game (Oh, just a skin game)

Just a skin game

Let's play the skin game

(Sing it for the people, y'all)

[Chorus]

The skin game is still around (Skin game)

But you can't keep a good man down (Playin' the skin game)

The skin game is still around (Skin game)

But you can't keep a good man down (Playin' the skin game)

The skin game is still around (Skin game)

But you can't keep a good man down (Playin' the skin game)

The skin game is still around (Skin game)

But you can't keep a good man down (playin' the skin game)

The skin game is still around (skin game)

But you can't, can't can't can't (skin game)

Can't can't can't keep a good man down (Skin game)

Can't, can't can't can't (Skin game)

Can't, can't can't can't (Skin game)

The skin game is still around (Skin game)

But you can't keep a good man down

The skin game is still around (Skin game)

But you can't keep a good man down (Skin game)

The skin game is still around (Playin' the skin game)

But you can't keep a good man down (Break it down)

(Skin game)

(Sing it for the people y'all)

(Skin game)

(Sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it again)

[Chorus]

The skin game is still around (Sing it again) (Playin' the skin game)

But you can't keep a good man down (Playin' the skin game)

The skin game is still around (Skin game)

But you can't keep a good man down (Playin' the skin game)

The skin game is still around (Skin game)

But you can't keep a good man down (Playin' the skin game)

The skin game is still around (Skin game)

But you can't keep a good man down (Playin' the skin game)

The skin game is still around (Skin game)

(See you, you in there dancin')

(And I'm in here needin' questions answered)

But you can't keep a good man down (Playin' the skin game)

The skin game is still around
