How The Game Works
Words and music by Neal Fox
1.
Ever since the world began one thing was all too true
There was a cancer in the land that wants to bury me and you
They grabbed all the wealth and bought themselves a throne
And cracked an evil whip like the world has never known
But the centuries past and the people said, no more!
And Liberty, at last, came to even up the score.
An idea grew, and its time had finally come
Liberty and Justice had its day in the sun
Chorus:
We got the solutions for problems we create
We'll take the confusions, and wipe them off your plate
You'd never believe that - you couldn't conceive that
From Presidents down to clerks
Just one of the perks
We get to control you
'Cause this is how the game works
2.
One fine day, in a new and fertile land
A group of Patriots were brave enough to take a stand
They put forth an idea that raised us to new heights
That the country serves the Man and the Man has got his rights
Now two hundred years have past and this Freedom served them well
But the cancer never left - they devised a plan from hell
Just like a game of dominoes falling to the ground
The only way to win... bring America down
(chorus)
Montuno:
Save us from a world that's torn apart
We'll give you all our money, we'll give to you our hearts
If Liberty and Freedom is the price we have to pay
It's worth it just to see our children live another day
So, save us, save us
3.
Lesson one: To make a free people willingly obey
And happily give all their rights away
You've got to convince them they're under attack
Killing thousands of your own and blame it on a maniac
They'll beg you to save them - their rights, you can waive them
Convince them all that danger always lurks
Just one of those perks
They get to control you
'Cause this is how the game works
