Akala, Mai Khalil - A Game Named Life lyrics

Um, In a game named life
In a game named life in a game named life
In a game named

A game named life where fools make the rules
And poets paint pictures with
Words that change nothing
Survival of the fittest they say
Are they sure?
Or just the survival of those with
The will to kill more?
The heart that thinks it'self purely
Surely is not hungry?
Hungry hearts know too well
The world is fuckery
And nature is indifferent to
The suffering of infants
That think ourselves growing human
Beings and something special
But as fate would have it
I ain't buying the idea of fate


It seems we shape every place
That we grace with hate
Depending which side of the
Fence or which epoch you die a slow death or
Be singing from the treetops
Praise for the status quo
Cus you're comfortable
Those who lost out in this lottery, ha
Fuck 'em all
Nice with this roll of the dice
I'm quite proud and i don't know if we will
Ever roll another time round

It's a game named life in a game named life
In a game named life in a game named life
In a game named life
Where the dice decide where I go
There I go, in a game named life
I dream to be let go

A game named life, where fools make the rules
And poets paint pictures with
Words that change nothing
Young child soldier, revolver not bluffing
In a game that teaches children to
Kill but can't love them
What is the journey of a bullet from
The ground until we pull it?
A piece of earth made to blow holes in souls
I'd like to know does a child
Choose in it's mother's core
Or before as just a sperm to be born in war?
Does another sperm choose greatness floating
In his father's pleasure?
Or does the game only begin
When the umbilical's severed?
Is that the reason babies born screaming?
Because they know they left the spirit world
To live here with no meaning among demons
That see them as nothing
More than chess pieces
In a game named life where
Even the winners stop breathing
And the whole thing is as tedious as
A tale that is told twice
We clone life but don't even own our own life

It's a game named life in a game named life
In a game named life in a game named life
In a game named life
Where the dice decide where I go
There I go, in a game named life
I dream to be let go

Sacrifice, pain and strife
This game named life is over
Before we even know

Life is a mirror always looking at you
It's not what we say or think
We are just what we do
With the time that is given
It comes with no ribbon
Because life is not a gift
To everyone that's living
Most of the moves are made before
You took your first go
Some got a huge head start
Before their first role
So you could play with more
Skill than the other players
They will still be ahead
Because the past generations
Accumulated spaces so they could
Practice with acres
Illuminated arrangements so they
Could manage retainers
Are you foolish? They ain't racing
We're chasing the pay slip
So they have won before even the
Game starts unless we change it
To another set of rules
Different from the fools
But to do that we are going
To have to use their tools
And therein lies our greatest dilemma
In this game named life
Who's playing it better?

It's a game named life in a game named life
In a game named life in a game named life
In a game named life
Where the dice decide where I go
There I go, in a game named life
I dream to be let go it's a game named life
In a game named life in a game named life
In a game named life in a game named life
Where the dice decide where I go
There I go, in a game named life
I dream to be let go
