Games

Hüsker Dü

I could stay here the rest of my life
 I could be happy, never be lonely
 I don't need to go looking for misery
 I could surround myself with my props
 Playing my part, getting caught up
 In a game, some game, that anyone can play

 I could be proud of things I have done
 Pretend I don't have to try to be someone
 I could say that I've done it all before
 I could get wiser, I could get jaded
 I could remember, I could just fade away
 In a game that anyone can play

 I am so proud, I don't have to try
 Never a need to justify it when
 People say "Hey I was important too"
 Memories go to reinforce
 The things I have done, for better or worse
 It's a game that anyone can play

 Just when you think that all your answers are so right
 You'll fade away and disappear from sight
 The ones who said you're great will find another way

 I could be sad, I could be lonely
 I could still have some friends if I only
 Didn't play the games I had to play
 I was important when I was cool
 Now it gets lonely playing the fool
 It's a game that anyone can play
