《The Winning Game》歌词

[00:11:34] He's travelling the road that others have shown him

[00:11:34] He's following the lies that others have told him

[00:11:34] His Future's on the brink...

[00:11:34] And nothing's ever going to sink his ship

[00:11:34] Grabs a working lunch, keeping one eye on the NASDAQ

[00:11:34] Driving through the Blackwall on his way to some knock-back

[00:11:34] There's no room in his soul

[00:11:34] For the people he controls... but never knows

[00:11:34] An in his life there's an empty space

[00:11:34] He fills with doubt and shame

[00:11:34] Then seals it up and destroys the key

[00:11:34] And ploughs himself right back into the winning game

[00:11:34] She's struggling with the problems that our hero has shown her,

[00:11:34] (A few thousands miles away, in a luxury Land Rover)

[00:11:34] Her children in the cold

[00:11:34] While her life is bought and sold... On tiny screens

[00:11:34] And as her value drops, well another one is rising

[00:11:34] More fashionable crops for the ever enterprising

[00:11:34] The West plays betting games

[00:11:34] On the fortunes of its slaves... but never knows

[00:11:34] And in her heart there's an empty space.

[00:11:34] We take more from, every day.

[00:11:34] But we close our eyes and pay no more hees

[00:11:34] And plough ourselves right back into the winning game

[00:11:34] These Two halves of the problem,

[00:11:34] Are joined like the sides of a coin

[00:11:34] We see them, we feel them but do nothing

[00:11:34] People live in the world that we drive through

[00:11:34] It's hard to even know that they're there

[00:11:34] We feel them, we see them but do nothing

[00:11:34] Still treading the road our education's shown us

[00:11:34] Still following the lies that the media has told us

[00:11:34] We're chalking up success

[00:11:34] While our planet's in a mess... But never know

[00:11:34] The campaigners on TV are all just raving "lefties"

[00:11:34] With pullovers so dodgy and haircuts from the seventies

[00:11:34] So why should we take note

[00:11:34] When we can simply cast our vote for "status quo"?

[00:11:34] And in our hearts there's an empty space,

[00:11:34] We feel its nagging pain

[00:11:34] But we take the *** and damp it down

[00:11:34] And plough ourselves right back into the winning game

[00:11:34] Life, it seems not much more,

[00:11:34] Than a race for an un-named prize

[00:11:34] That we accept in some tear-stained ceremony

[00:11:34] From people that we despise

[00:11:34] And in our hearts we want nothing more,

[00:11:34] Than greed and lust and pain

[00:11:34] We buy and sell

[00:11:34] And we crawl away

[00:11:34] To count our ill-got gains
