The Game

I know what you're thinking
You know what I'm wearing
My feather vest, a brand new dress
And glasses with pink see-through lenses
And I'm going out
You think I should sit down
Save my money, save my time
Drink herbal tea and ditch the wine

I'm living in a candy-colored daydream
You probably tell your kids not to be like me
I guess I get it, I push my luck
But I'll be young, I'll be fun 'til I'm done

Life's a game, it's a game
So don't hate the player
Hate the stage, hate the stakes
Hate the lies they federalize
You hate the boys and the noise
All their master plans
Oh, it's a game, it's a game
So we might as well waste it away

Oh, oh, oh, oh
We might as well waste it away
We might as well waste it away
Oh, oh, oh, oh
We might as well waste it away
We might as well waste it away

You're being dramatic
I'm only an addict
To city lights, their big spotlights
Make sparkles that rain down around me
And I'm spending time
Like it's made out of dimes
Dying for a dance floor
For a song that sounds like angel chimes

I'm living in a candy-colored daydream
You probably tell your kids not to be like me
I guess I get it, I push my luck
But I'll be young, I'll be fun 'til I'm done

Life's a game, it's a game
So don't hate the player
Hate the stage, hate the stakes
Hate the lies they federalize
You hate the boys and the noise
All their master plans
Oh, it's a game, it's a game
So we might as well waste it away

Oh, oh, oh, oh
We might as well waste it away
We might as well waste it away
Oh, oh, oh, oh
We might as well waste it away
We might as well waste it away

I know what you're thinking
You know what I'm wearing
My mini skirt, a tiny shirt
And boots that go up to my knees
I know what you're thinking
I know what you're thinking
And I'll be damned if I can't have this moment to be free

Life's a game, it's a game
So don't hate the player
Hate the stage, hate the stakes
Hate the lies they federalize
You hate the boys and the noise
All their master plans
Oh, it's a game, it's a game
So we might as well waste it away

Oh, oh, oh, oh
We might as well waste it away
We might as well waste it away
Oh, oh, oh, oh
We might as well waste it away
We might as well waste it away
