[Intro] Pl—pl—play—pl—play game Pl—pl—play—pl—play game [Verse] Walk through Time's Square, and what do ya see? Ugliness where architecture used to be The glamour and style have been replaced by [?] Like the sixty dollar spectacle, it's all a fraud That's the play game (That's the play game) So why do I want to play the play game?

(Play game, play game, play game)
