Stiff Little Fingers - The Game of Life Lyrics

From the minute you're born
Til the day you die
Why'know they put you on trial
Yeah, they make you strive, strive, strive
Here's my little warning
It's a word to the wise
Don't get too involved in
The Game of Life

When the wheel of fortune
Grinds your face in the sand
And opportunity's knocking
Only bruises your hand
They call it enterprise culture
I call it pressure and strife
And the winners stay winners
In the Game of Life

[Chorus:]
The Game of Life
You're born to play
The Game of Life
You play to win
The winners stay winners
In the game of life

Putting the pressure on you
Your head is on the block
With every day more frantic
You've gotta beat the clock
Try to slow down sometime
If you don't you'll find
You've no time for living
The Game of Life

[Chorus Repeat]

From the minute you're born
Til the day you die
Yeah they put you on trial
Yeah they make you strive, strive, strive
They call it enterprise culture
I call it pressure and strife
And the winners stay winners
In the Game of Life

[Chorus x3]
