Array ( [sid] => 107423 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Fools Game [time] => 2005-10-10 03:05:02 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I never played the game, so they all say!
Never did things to put people in dismay
You tried to fool me once and had your way
Succeeded because I trusted you on that day

What will life be if be without trust?
What will life be if lived in thoughts?
How come your soul and mind has been bought
How is it that you are cold, iced and all frost?

What manner of action got you in blame?
Who is that dame that extinguished your flame?
Are you not now thrown in troubled shame?
Your mind is lame; you played the game, fools game

You play for time, delay your thoughts, you play the game
You steep your words in slippery verse, you play the game
Only fools stroll in this fouled fields and call it a game
He that knows the subtle ruse of men, knows it’s a game

It’s difficult not being some fool, even for a day
It’s hard not to lie for profit or gain
We lie and pretend we do not do this everyday
Only fools say no, we all play the game, it’s a shame.

Fools Game
