The Game Of Life Lyrics - Flags And Emblems - Stiff Little Fingers

From the minute you're born 

Til the day you die 

Why'know they put you on trial 

Yeah, they make you strive, strive, strive 

Here's my little warning 

It's a word to the wise 

Don't get too involved in 

The Game of Life 

When the wheel of fortune 

Grinds your face in the sand 

And opportunity's knocking 

Only bruises your hand 

They call it enterprise culture 

I call it pressure and strife 

And the winners stay winners 

In the Game of Life 

[Chorus:] 

The Game of Life 

You're born to play 

The Game of Life 

You play to win 

The winners stay winners 

In the game of life 

Putting the pressure on you 

Your head is on the block 

With every day more frantic 

You've gotta beat the clock 

Try to slow down sometime 

If you don't you'll find 

You've no time for living 

The Game of Life 

[Chorus Repeat] 

From the minute you're born 

Til the day you die 

Yeah they put you on trial 

Yeah they make you strive, strive, strive 

They call it enterprise culture 

I call it pressure and strife 

And the winners stay winners 

In the Game of Life 

[Chorus x3]
