Triumph had it right back in 78. Today, this song rings especially true...money controls everything, people follow their fears into the abyss and those of us who dare to dream face harsh realities. The lyrics are spot-on, and give the video a look-see...its fan-made, but pretty good. ****************************************************** Wizards of the modern age cast spells of electric power But the corporate strings that make them dance Lead up to an ivory tower, There sit the fates in solitude, far from the public eye No one ever sees them smile and nothing makes them cry... Welcome to the kingdom, the Land of Bought and Sold A world of real-life fantasy where truths are seldom told; Try hard to remember all that glitters is not gold You can pay the piper but you cannot buy his soul... Its just a game, youre in it all the way Its just a game, dont let yourself slip away Its such a shame, I heard somebody say Its just a game... And all I can do...is play... What you do choose now, what do you believe now Who are you gonna trust? All your dreams and fancy schemes Just crumble into dust; Calm and cool and computerized, To calculate and collect; We wait and watch and wonder Just which puppet theyll select Like the moth, too near the flame Who learned his truth too late, Were all too deep into the game That is the master of our fate The poets and the pipers have got their motives And youve got yours, no doubt, And so the game continues Thats what its all about Its just a game, youre in it all the way Its just a game, dont let yourself slip away Its such a shame, I heard somebody say Its just a game... And all I can do...is play... https://youtube/watch?v=NXZ3q__AZqQ
