Some people sell you dreams

Way beyond our possibilities,

They set us up to fail

With their fantastic tales,

Of glory and of success

But to achieve this you need to be blessed,

And if you falter and you fail

They’ll say that’s such a shame,

And they are not to blame

They say that it is all in the game,

And it breaks your heart

For we set our dreams on fame,

They say don’t blame us, blame the game,

Then they drop without hesitation

But it’s not their fault they say,

Don’t blame us, blame the game,

Even though they knew

That it was always likely to end this way,

They lie to us to make up the numbers

But don’t blame them they say,

It’s not them, it’s the game,

Breaking hearts and shattering dreams

Destroying hopes and all our beliefs,

Is not their fault they will say

It’s not our fault, just blame the game,

The game that they meticulously create.
