Play Game

The-the-play, the-the-play game (Yeah) The-the-play, the-the-play game Walk through Time's Square, and what do ya see? Ugliness where architecture used to be The glamour and style have been replaced by god Like the sixty dollar spectacle, it's all a fraud That's the play game (that's the play game) So why do I want to play the play game? That's the play game (that's the play game) I must be insane to play the play game Even off Broadway, it's no guarantee That some MBA won't decide what you see Just like America, lackin' innovation Just gettin' by on glitz and reputation Just likе America, on the declinе Unconcerned with the product, just the bottom line Write for the movies, write for TV So what if it's crap? At least you won't write for free Make thousands of dollars for a first draft Your life won't depend on whether Frank's bitch left So just forget Shakespeare, back in Moliere That's the play game (that's the play game) That's the play game (that's the play game) That's the play game Why do I care? (The play game, the play game, the play game)
