*~Playing the Game~*

When playing the game
Of who's to blame
We all point our fingers
So we won't feel the shame

We make up excuses
Or even tell lies
We don't care who gets hurt
It doesn't matter who cries

Whatever it takes
Even if its all or nothing
How can we know
Who's sincere and who's bluffing?

Why don't we as people
Just stop and see
We can't go on like this
And still live happily

When its time to pay the piper
For all that we've done
Will you be there standing steady
Or will you want to run?

Maybe someday
We'll all look out for each other
And we can live life better
Be as a sister or a brother
