What's the game ?

What's the game,
What's the game,
What's the game,
What's the game we play ?

Tell me when
Tell me when
Tell me when it's my turn to play ?

     I don't know your rules, man,
     I don't know your rules
     Tell me and I'll win
     Time and time again,
     Just tell me the game
     Else I can only pretend...

Show me how
Show me how
Show me how
Show me how to attract the stares !

Social grace,
Social grace,
Social grace falling down the stairs !

     There's a way to please
     And mine is never right
     I'm called a tease, a slob, a sleaze,
     When I merely speak in fright.
     Make one vow to me...
     Make just one vow to me...

What goes wrong,
What goes wrong,
What goes wrong,
What goes wrong in my head ?

Does honesty
Does honesty
Does honesty lie a few lies ahead ?

     Do you truly believe
     That I'd understand a game
     That has me bound, silenced and blinded
     And that's never been explained ?

     You know, someday I'll kill you
     'Cause what a joke it'd be,
     Huh ? Just what a joke it'd be !
           (GET IT ??)
