I've seen it all - Watched proud men stand and fall
I've seen despair in their eyes as the truth cuts through the lies
Don't cry, don't weep, don't lose any sleep
Lessons learnt, fingers burnt, the pain lasts just a while
It's a game, a game, a game called life
No rule books are given at birth
It's a game, a game, a game called life
You pick it up as you go along
I've heard it all - The story always stays the same
Tears fall down - Tired clichés hit the ground
Don't cry, don't weep, don't lose any sleep
Lessons learnt, fingers burnt, the pain lasts just a while
It's a game, a game, a game called life
No rule books are given at birth
It's a game, a game, a game called life
You pick it up as you go along
I've felt it all - A merry-go-round of emotions inside
From a baby's birth. Too standing by a freshly covered grave
So don't you cry, don't you weep
Don't you lose any of your beauty sleep
Lessons learnt, fingers burnt, the pain lasts just a while
It's a game, a game, a game called life
No rule books are given at birth
It's a game, a game, a game called life
You pick it up as you go along
It's a game, a game, a game called life
No rule books are given at birth
It's a game, a game, a game called life
You pick it up as you go along
