Stiff Little Fingers - The Game Of Life lyrics

rate me

From the minute you're born

Til the day you die

Y'know they put you on trial

Yeah, they make you strive, strive, strive

Here's my little warning

It's a word to the wise

Don't get too involved in

The Game of Life

When the wheel of fortune

Grinds your face in the sand

And opportunity's knocking

Only bruises your hand

They call it enterprise culture

I call it pressure and strife

And the winners stay winners

In the Game of Life

[Chorus:]

The Game of Life

You're born to play

The Game of Life

You play to win

The winners stay winners

In the game of life

Putting the pressure on you

Your head is on the block

With every day more frantic

You've gotta beat the clock

Try to slow down sometime

If you don't you'll find

You've no time for living

The Game of Life

[Chorus Repeat]

From the minute you're born

Til the day you die

Yeah they put you on trial

Yeah they make you strive, strive, strive

They call it enterprise culture

I call it pressure and strife

And the winners stay winners

In the Game of Life

[Chorus x3]
