Levellers - The Game Lyrics
The Bar was dark, quiet and stillAnd nothing could be heardThe dust lay undisturbedAt a table near the back, underneath a fanTwo men shared a joka about the normal folkThe cards are on the tableThe winners takes it allThe game is nearly overOne man about to fallI don't believe in heavenI don't believe in hellI don't believe what I'm seeingThis is no game, can't you tell"I'm calling your bluff" the first man said"The people went to war, they always wanted moreHow could I ever fail to loseThey can't take it any more, they want to end the score"The second man showed his handSome walked barefoot across the landMany have seen the futureAnd are doing the best they canCHORUSThe clock ticked past the final hourWhich of the men had lost? and what was the cost?The glasses now were empty and goneTo wash away the shame, and take away the painOne man left the tableThe other, head in handsPaid the bill for the defeatedthe only thing left that standsCHORUS
