A youth misspent by not joining the crowd
Refuse to play games and you're not allowed
But that's how it goes
Yeah that's how it goes
Oh that's how it goes
That's life in gameland
Learn for yourself? Why what do you mean?
Don't you know that we need you to feed our machines?
But that's how it goes
Yeah that's how it goes
Oh that's how it goes
That's life in gameland
We'll make sure your head is made out of wood
And we'll make you dig ditches like itinerants should
Or we'll turn you into pigeons
that can walk a figure-eight
We'll control all your emotions,
tell you what to love or hate and it's a
Blissful existence if you just play along
We'll have your mind to build on if you just play along
We'll waste your whole life for you if you
just play along
Please let us waste your time
Please let us waste your mind
Please
Please
Please.....
A youth misspent by not joining the crowd
Refuse to play games and you're not allowed
But that's how it goes
Yeah that's how it goes
Oh that's how it goes
That's life in gameland
