It's Only a Game (Lyrics by Paul O. Myhre)

Verse 1
It's all a game. That's what she said.
It's all a game. It's in your head.
Nothing that I do or say can ever go away.
It's all a game. It's all a game.
Watch your back.
Watch your life.
Watch your steps.
You might step right.

Chorus
It's only a game, only a game
Nothing is lost and nothing is gained
It's only a game, only a game
And we will never be back here again

Verse 2
She moved the pawns
To see which ones
Would rise and fall
And be left alone.
She moved the king, far, far away.
Hid him well from others.
Hid him there to stay.
She said it's only, only a game.
She said it's only, only a game.

Chorus
It's only a game, only a game
Nothing is lost and nothing is gained
It's only a game, only a game
And we will never be back here again

Bridge/Solo

Verse 3
It's only life.
It's only death.
Which one you choose,
Which one is left?
How many will fall?
How many will fall?
How many will fall?
To raise it all.
How many will fall?
How many will fall?
How many will fall?
Before this game is through.

Chorus
It's only a game, only a game
Nothing is lost and nothing is gained
It's only a game, only a game
And we will never be back here again
