Never callin', unanswered letters,
How you been, feelin' better?
Never lookin', but you're hearin',
Never speakin', but you're feeling
All the silence, and it's wounding,
You're not healing, just concealing
Play the game, play the game
Chorus:
Oh brother to brother, all the blood runs red
Don't roll over, don't play dead
We're all livin' on the razor's edge
Oh brother to brother, all the blood runs ruby red
We're all victims of the razor's edge
All the rules don't mean a thing,
They're wasting time,
The mem'ries sting
Keep your image, plant that smile,
Answer questions, don't let on
Make up stories all put on,
That's your life, oh,
Your life is gone
(chorus)
You see you're losing, yet you still try
The game just a'watches your life go by
You're playin' well,
You're playin' - why?
Oh, play the game
You see you're losing, yet you still try
The game just a'watches your life go by
You're playin' well,
Oh you're playin' the game
