Skin Game

See you, you in there dancing
And I'm in here needing questions answered

Contestants enter
Without knowing
Try to learn the rules
No one's showing
Equal chances (What?)
No one loses
Not much can beat the odds
No excuses
Let's play the skin game

(Skin game)
(Skin game)

The stage is set
So let's get started
Try to be the best
But don't be outsmarted
You know what you're up against
No need to complain
Try to figure out
The best way to play
To play the skin game

The skin game is still around (Skin game)
But you can't keep a good man down

The skin game is still around (Skin game)
But you can't keep a good man down (Playing the skin game)
The skin game is still around (Skin game)
But you can't keep a good man down
Can't, can't can't can't
Can't, can't can't can't keep a good man down

(And I'm in here needing questions answered)

Outside looking in
The door is open but you can't get in
Something's in the way
It's a skin game (Oh, just a skin game)
Just a skin game
Let's play the skin game
