So play the game
We"re all beginners
Stand by the flame
There"ll be no winners
No preacher here
Will answer your questions
They"ll run in fear
At some suggestions
Look now the circus is here
Too many clowns
Waiting for freedom to disappear
The old man wonders where he"ll sleep tonight
Young girl on the streets will have to fight
Mother and her children finally lost
Fallen king will never know the cost
Excuse me please
If I"m outspoken
You"ve lost your keys
Your locks are broken
You walk alone
Down empty hallways
You hide behind
Your private doorways
Someone keeps changing the rules
You must believe
That we could be someone else"s fool
We"re all beginners
Stand by the flame
There"ll be no winners
