Quit.

by ?   Feb 1, 2005


I’m playing a game of monopoly
And I’m losing all my money and land
Everyone is taking and taking
I don’t have what they demand

I’m playing a game of snap
And they’re reaching the cards just before me
I’m too slow and cannot realise
And it can never be for free

I’m playing a game of poker
And each time I lose more and more
Things get harder and meaner
Goes from a simple game to a war

I’m playing a game of chess
And all my players are being killed
How can I win against anyone?
When in this game I’m so unskilled

I’m playing a game of solitaire
On my own with no one who can beat
But still I give in and give up
Even myself I defeat

I’m playing the game of life
And I know I’m not going to make it
Look deeper into these games
Because this time I quit
