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


(chorus)
