When all the boats had left the shore A thousand people, maybe more As the sun burnt through their eyes You could sense their deep surprise And I guess one would assume That we're playing different tunes No one realised what was wrong It was all lost in a song And the people stopped to cry A sea of tears flowed from their eyes And then everybody says But they always say to late It's such a shame, we all feel the pain Of stupid games, it's such a shame There is no gain, we all feel the pain Of stupid games History passed me by at school But I, by no means play the fool The past and present melt to one But the future now has gone And I guess one would assume That there's nothing left to lose No more science left to bend The world was flat we reached the end The other side now maybe nice Now's your turn to roll the dice And then everybody's still But I can't help but feel It's such a shame, we all feel the pain Of stupid games, it's such a shame There is no gain, we all feel the pain Of stupid games Don't you even see that we don't Want to play this game no more? Send a satellite to rescue us alone Alone once more It's such a shame, we all feel the pain Of stupid games, it's such a shame There is no gain, we all feel the pain Of stupid games
