Part Of The Game

by APRIL MOON

/

about

We tried to capture the northern, country rock sounds that were coming out of the upper half of the prairie provinces of Canada during the 1990's. Just jangly, feel-good tunes paired with some slightly surreal feeling lyrics and a fiddle. We're loving a bit of fiddle right now.

And if you know about The Game? Well you've just lost. Sorry bout that.

lyrics

LYRICS:

Armed only with my sword, I’m moving round the board
I only see two moves ahead of me
There’s people in the sky pulling strings and rollin dice
Askin me, “son, don’t it feel good to be free?”

All these memories that I counted on for years
And the times that I was guided by my fear
You’re telling me that you’re leaving me
But it’s only a part of the game

I’m fighting with the fools
Who never learned the rules
And yet it seems that they’re all way ahead of me
Lots of opinions in the world
What makes a boy, what makes a girl
If you disagree they’ll say you just can’t see

All these misconceptions that I knew were true
All these hippy dreams that smelled a lot like glue
You’re telling me you’re coming back to me
But you’re only a part of the game

Indifference where there used to be true love
They traded in my handshake for a shove
Square one is the cost
When you realize you’ve lost
You remember you were playing the Game
It’s all been a part of the game
Now you have to start all over again
My friend, the end
