Story Behind The Song
Crazy election year, I gotta say something--
I'm not taking a stance here, except to say that it ain't 'me' and it ain't 'you', it's "US".

Lyrics
Anybody's Game
© 2016/Hank Thomas
I been lookin' around, don't like what I found
If we wanna be safe and sound, we better find ourselves some common ground
You got Jokers on the left, and pokers on the right
There ain't nobody left living in the middle everybody wants to fight
Build
We've got to learn to compromise
Stop diggin' in and reach our hands across the aisle
'Cause it's anybody's game, everybody's shame
Have we all gone insane, yeah everyone's to blame
One of them wants a wall
While the rest of them just do nothing at all
Need to find a place, where we can come together before it's to late
'Cause it's anybody's game, everybody's shame
This world has gone insane, and everyone's to blame
CH
It's one big free for all
And we're the ones who'll take, that, fall
"Cause it's anybody's game, everybody's shame
The whole world's gone insane, ain't nobody else to blame
Build
It's anybody's game, everybody's shame
Have we all gone insane, ain't nobody left to blame
Need to find a way, to straighten out this awful mess that we became
We better find it soon, brothers and sisters what we want is the same
The answer's in our hearts. A little common sense is a good place to start
Everybody can't get everything they want or everybody's goin' down
We've got to learn to compromise
Stop diggin' in and reach our hands across the aisle
'Cause it's anybody's game, everybody's shame
Have we all gone insane, ain't nobody else to blame
It's anybody's game, everybody's shame
The whole world's gone insane, we all share the blame
