A game's a game, I hear you say 
Enough emotion in a day 
We'll never live enough to play 
I hear you say 

You make the way you make the moves 
Giving clues about the rules 
But there's no way to warn the fools 
They're only fools 
But there's no way to warn the fools 
They're only fools 

Give me a lie for a lie 
Give me a truth for a truth 
Nothing is hard to believe 
No one is hard to deceive 
Leave me a light in the dark 
Give me a lie for a lie 
Give me a lie for a lie 
Give me a truth for a truth 

So let the fire within me burn 
You know something I should learn 
But I don't know which way to turn 
Still I turn 
But I don't know which way to turn 
Still I turn 

Give me a lie for a lie 
Give me a truth for a truth 
Nothing is hard to believe 
No one is hard to deceive 
Leave me a light in the dark 
Give me a lie for a lie 
Give me a lie for a lie 
Give me a truth for a truth 

And when the flame begins to go 
I'll be there inside the door 
You'll never know that I care more 
Than I can show 
You'll never know that I care more 
Than I can show 

Give me a lie for a lie 
Give me a truth for a truth 
Nothing is hard to believe 
No one is hard to deceive 
Leave me a light in the dark 
Give me a lie for a lie 
Give me a lie for a lie 
Give me a truth for a truth
