Song Description

Can anybody really win the game, or is it rigged?

Lyrics

Verse 1:
You're glaring across the table - I'm glaring back at you
Our chips are down, with nothing left to lose
One sits to the right of us, another sits to the left
Their grins can't be contained - they won all the bets

Chorus:
In the game - We bet our children's futures
In the game - Gave in to their demands
In the game - We took the cards they dealt
And we played and played . . . right into their hands

Verse 2:
We gambled for a King or Queen, they dealt us 2s and 3s
But all along the aces were hiding up their sleeves
They say peace and prosperity with a wink and a smile
So why do they fight like yard dogs running wild?

Chorus:
In the game - We bet our children's futures
In the game - Gave in to their demands
In the game - We took the cards they dealt
And we played and played . . . right into their hands

Bridge:
Now . . . this country may never be the same again
Until we call their bluff we can never win

Verse 3:
Let's turn the tables over - the stakes are way too high
This isn't just a game - they're playing with our lives
Poker with the jokers assures we'll never win
Let's take each other's hands and never play again

Chorus:
In the game - We bet our children's futures
In the game - Gave in to their demands
In the game - We took the cards they dealt
And we played and we played . . . right into their hands
Right into their hands . .
Right into their hands . . .
