Lyrics

I spy with my little eye your disdain (disdain)
You're working the crowd and dropping the names (names)
But you're only holding the clubs and spades (spades)
That's how you know you're playing the game
So call a new play
'Cause it's fourth and one, and you're running nothing but fakes
You're feeling the flow, but never pass go
It's an all-out blitz, and you're out there all on your own
You're stealing bases, it's your claim to fame (fame)
Thrown out, and now you think you've been played (played)
You're kicking up dirt while you bitch and complain (complaint)
In vain, you keep on playing the game
You're changing the rules
You've got to play the hand you're dealt now don't be a fool
You're only a pawn, it's time to move on
You should cut your losses now or get taken to school
You're stuck in the back of the pack again (again)
Your chances are slipping right down the drain (drain)
You roll the dice and get snake eyes again (again)
You're playing the game, yeah, yeah
You're playing the game
I carried a torch
I tried to light the flame but ended up getting scorched
I tried to coach, you tried to poach
You know you wanted fame, and you've always been playing the game
It's far too soon to break out the champagne (champagne)
Face up, get real and drop the charades (charades)
Win or lose, you've reached the end of your reign (your reign)
The wheel is spinning, you're playing the game
