Game Over

You’ve got me playing your silly game For far too long that I can’t remember When it first began You’ve won every time But now I’m calling the shots. Every trap you set I leap like a gizelle to avoid the snap Each pitfall I found myself in I crawled right out in a second. It’s the same old pattern All the tricks you’ve pulled I see right through them You can’t pull the wool over my eyes. You had your fun But the table’s been flipped Pieces scatter against the floor Table placed back up While I set up a new game. You won’t know what’s in store You can’t predict these moves You got no power ups You got no “Get out of Jail” card For this is a game You can’t win. My moves will get you lost In a labyrinth of confusion Where you can’t make heads or tails Sweet talk won’t win you points It only earns you penalties. This game is next level Difficulty set to Hard You got no chance in hell Your tricks won’t save you here It’s game over for you.
