Lyrics
Big Game
The future's uncertain, we all know this for sure
Any day the final curtain could drop to the floor
Tomorrow's nothing but an idea we like
Though sometimes we're just hoping disaster won't strike
I'm runnin 'round here trying to get ahead
But, how far can I get when we all end up dead?
I'd be better off partyin or lying in the sun
Or just doing what I'm doing but just having more fun
Chorus:
Gonna appreciate this day, gonna do what I can
'Cause this day's OK, I'm a lucky man
Don't want to waste it, that would be a shame
Better to play it like it's a big game
Gonna appreciate this day, that's my plan
'Cause this day's OK, Now I understand
Gonna savor this day, man I'm really gonna do it
'Cause this day'll fade away, can't hold on to it
I'm just here for a while, the time's flyin by
Best not to get too attached to this life
Don't know why it's like this, it's a wild design
I know trying to figure it'll just blow your mind
(Don't even try to figure it out...)
When we get what we want we (always) want something else
And all of this wanting can make your life a living hell
Better just to be content with all the things we've got
And let's admit it most of us have got a lot
(A lot, we've got a lot)
Chorus
Gonna appreciate this day, gonna do what I can
'Cause this day's OK, I'm a lucky man
Don't want to waste it, that'd be a shame
Better to play it like it's a big game
Gonna appreciate this day, that's the plan
'Cause this day's OK, I'm a lucky man
Gonna savor this day, man I'm really gonna do it
'Cause this day'll fade away, I can't hold on to it
So now Stop your blood clot crying
People ought to be ashamed of the way they whine
(We'd) better get our values in alignment
'Cause negativity's just poison for your mind man
And that's a sad fact, And we cant have that,
Im getting suited up for battle, Yo who got my back?
Gonna appreciate this day, yea that's the plan
'Cause this day's OK, I'm starting to understand
Gonna savor this day, man I'm really gonna do it
'Cause this day'll fade away, I can't hold on to it
Gonna appreciate this day, gonna do what I can
'Cause this day's OK, I'm a lucky man
Don't want to waste it, that'd be a shame
Better to play it like it's a big game
A big game, big game
It's a big game
