Life's the Game (And I'm a Champion Player)









Let’s start from the start,
From the first beat of heart;
It all went downhill from there.
I was a good kid at the go,
Played me like a puppet show;
But then I got too wise to use.
Good times fade to night,
Oh, honey, I can’t make it right;
‘Cos I like making it wrong.

So ditch it all,
Learn nothing
They can teach in school.
Don’t grow up,
Because it sucks
Worse than a cheap whore.

No time to whine now,
Time to shine somehow;
You won’t win this again.
Me and the boys tearing it down,
If life’s a circus I’m the clown;
Here for my own amusement.
I don’t know shit tonight,
But I’m burning bright;
Burning this all down.

So ditch it all,
Learn nothing
They can teach in school.
Don’t grow up,
Because it sucks
Worse than a cheap whore.

No respect for you,
No respect for me too;
Life’s too short for all that.
Treat me the way you want, Honey,
Because I’ll find it fucking funny;
When I clown you right on back.
Drank so much I can’t see,
Whatever freak’s in front of me;
I’ll just keep on dancin’.

Keep on dancin’,
Beats romancin’.
This is a song,
For the kids
Who don’t
Belong.
Keep on dancin’,
Beats still blastin’.
This is a cry,
For the kids
Who want
To fly.
Keep on dancin’,
Beats chancin’.
This is a law;
Kids who don’t belong,
You can fly,
So take the fucking floor…

And ditch it all,
Learn nothing
They can teach in school.
Don’t grow up,
Because it sucks
Worse than a cheap whore.

So ditch it all,
Learn nothing
They can teach in school.
Don’t grow up,
Because it sucks
Worse than a cheap whore.







A/N: I got challenged to write something a little lighter than my normal poetry by a friend over on dA, so I started blasting Cobra Starship into my skull and this happened. Meant to be lyrics, but I'm not too sure if they work. As mentioned, heavily inspired by Cobra Starship. Especially by the songs "Guilty Pleasure", "I Kissed a Boy", "The Scene Is Dead - Long Live the Scene" and "Pete Wentz is the Only Reason We're Famous".

Please let me know what you think and thanks for reading! :D
