lyrics

two thousand fingers pointing one way
two thousand voices screaming the same
come on and play, they said, come on and play
the game of the wounded soldiers of shame

i rolled the dice, i was eager to start
i started to win so i played everyday
come on and play, they said, come on and play
the game of the wounded soldiers of shame

once i started to lose, wanting to change
the voices kept on telling me not to be ashamed
come on and play, still they said, come on and play
the game of the wounded soldiers of shame

so much of the same made me tired and bored
the voices may call but it's best to ignore
i'm not gonna play, i say, i'm not gonna play
the game of the wounded soldiers of shame

because i'm going away, going away
the past will be there with nearly no one to blame
i'm willing to fall and i'm willing to crash
but i'm not gonna play that silly game again

i'm going away, going away
the past will be there with nearly no one to blame
i'm willing to fall and i'm willing to crash
but i'm not gonna play that silly game again
