I'm watching you from far and near
Running from my greatest fear
Loss
I'm playing by the rules
I try to help, do what I can
Hold the cards, then play my hand
Games
I'm playing by the rules
There's nothing more that I can do
But play the game and keep it cool
War
I'm playing by the rules
The game will last an eternity
While you are there and I am here
Still
I'm playing by the rules
