The Proclaimers - Play the Man lyrics
[The Proclaimers - Play the Man lyrics]
They play the ball they play the man
They do whatever they can
Use whatever they can to succeed
Watching you sanitize
They spit in your eye
And they tell you how you should proceed
With the player of games
You'll find no sense of shame
Single minded in all that they do
So what you do then is to do unto them
What they would've done unto you
So play the ball play the man
Do whatever you can when it's the only way
To get through
Oh and don't think twice about playing nice
It's just bad advice from thе fools
'Cause the fools don't know
Of the so-and-sos
Who would see thеm dining on gruel
They play the ball they play the man
They do whatever they can
Use whatever they can to succeed
Watching you sanitize
They spit in your eye
And they tell you how you should proceed
With the player of games
You'll find no sense of shame
Single minded in all that they do
So what you do then is to do unto them
What they would've done unto you
So play the ball play the man
Do whatever you can when it's the only way
You can get through
They do whatever they can
Use whatever they can to succeed
Watching you sanitize
They spit in your eye
And they tell you how you should proceed
With the player of games
You'll find no sense of shame
Single minded in all that they do
So what you do then is to do unto them
What they would've done unto you
So play the ball play the man
Do whatever you can when it's the only way
To get through
Oh and don't think twice about playing nice
It's just bad advice from thе fools
'Cause the fools don't know
Of the so-and-sos
Who would see thеm dining on gruel
They play the ball they play the man
They do whatever they can
Use whatever they can to succeed
Watching you sanitize
They spit in your eye
And they tell you how you should proceed
With the player of games
You'll find no sense of shame
Single minded in all that they do
So what you do then is to do unto them
What they would've done unto you
So play the ball play the man
Do whatever you can when it's the only way
You can get through
