Текст песни The Name of the Game - Badfinger

I saw the railway master, and I looked him in the eye
Said Would you go much faster,
If you thought that you would die?
He said Not me sir, I could not care, in fact I would not try.
For protest would not take me far,
Its different me not being a star.
I lock my feelings in a jar, until another day
Oh comfort me dear brother, wont you tell me what you know.
For somewhere in this paper world is a place where I can go.
Oh long-awaited mother, is it time to make a show?
And take your babies to your breasts
You know we never passed the test.
And all our sins should be confessed before we carry on.
Oh, dont refuse me,
If you choose me, youll follow my shame.
No, dont confuse me,
For I know its the name of the game.
I got up off my pillow and I looked up at the sun
Said You can see quite clearly now,
The things that we have done.
Weve burned your sacred willow and our battles, we have won.
But did we get so very far?
Its different me not being a star.
I lock my feelings in a jar, until they go away.
Oh, dont refuse me,
If you choose me, youll follow my shame.
No, dont confuse me,
For I know its the name of the game.
