about

A song written about the unfairness of life in general and was very influenced by the famous "Game Boy" pocket game, designed by Nintendo.

lyrics

WELL HOW DOES IT FEEL
WHEN YOU'RE DOWN ON YOUR LUCK
YOU POUR OUT YOUR HEART BUT THEY DON'T GIVE A....FORGET I ASKED

HOW MANY TIMES CAN YOU PICK UP YOUR LIFE
WILL THERE ALWAYS BE SOMEBODY
TWISTING THE KNIFE IN DEEPER

THE WORLD IS A VEHICLE FOR SORROW
THE BEAUTIFUL DREAMS NEVER CAME
NO RULES TO APPLY WHEN YOU'RE PLAYING
THE ULTIMATE GAME...LIFE'S JUST A GAMEBOY

WELL HOW MANY TEARS
HAVE BEEN SHED OVER YEARS
WE KILL TO ACHIEVE
CO'S WE'RE TAUGHT TO BELIEVE... IN THIS GAME

THE WORLD IS A VEHICLE FOR SORROW
THE BEAUTIFUL DREAMS NEVER CAME
NO RULES TO APPLY WHEN YOU'RE PLAYING
THE ULTIMATE GAME...LIFE'S JUST A GAMEBOY

WELL YOU CAN PLAY IT FOR REAL
OR JUST PLAY IT FOR FUN
AT THE END OF THIS GAME
THERE AIN'T NO PLACE TO RUN.. SO FEEL IT

AND HOW DOES IT FEEL
WHEN YOU'RE DOWN ON YOUR LUCK
YOU POUR OUT YOUR HEART BUT THEY DON'T GIVE A....FORGET I ASKED

THE WORLD IS A VEHICLE FOR SORROW
THE BEAUTIFUL DREAMS NEVER CAME
NO RULES DO APPLY WHEN YOU'RE PLAYING
THE ULTIMATE GAME...LIFE'S JUST A GAMEBOY
IT'S A GAME BOY IT'S A GAME BOY IT'S A GAME BOY
