The Game Lyrics

World's gone mad
Hey, the world's on fire
Food's too dear
And your gas is higher

Got to eat
And you've got to breathe
Got no money
Well, it's time to leave

Dow Jones crashes, the cats get rich
See them laughing, it never quits
It's a game (big game)
It's just a game (big game)

Profit's in
Hey, what’s going on?
All this time
It's the same old song

If you've got dough
They will lend you more
When you're broke
You get shown the door

They'll take your home and they'll take your car
Make you live in your mom's backyard
It's a game (big game)
It's just a game (big game)
It's just a game
The rich get rich, then get rich some more
Pretty soon, there'll be all out war

It's a game (big game)
It's just a game (big game)
So who's to blame? (big game)
It's just a game (big game)

Playing games with people's lives
Who struggle hard just to survive
The world is goin' up in flames
The perfect cause, it's just a game

It's just a game
So who's to blame?

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
