The Player

(album: Levellers - 1993)

There isn't much to gain
By living it all the same way
The years just slip away
And it's too late then to play

And if you live from day to day
You can play the game your own way
There's a million things to say
In a million places, yeah

For her it stays the same
Though a million towers have tumbled
And you can hear her pain
Voiced in a distant rumble

And when it starts to rain
All your monoliths will crumble
Well, it's always been the same
Don't you feel a little humble, yeah

She camp up to me, said
Wanna know a mystery
Whole wide world for you to see
You're the player in the game

She camp up to me, said
Wanna know a mystery
Whole wide world for you to see
You're the player in the game

Well, I've nothing left to say
Except take the time to ramble
In a million different ways
There are a million paths to travel

When there's something in the way
To the top, please remember
There's hope yet in the rain
And a voice in distant thunder, yeah

She camp up to me, said
Wanna know a mystery
Whole wide world for you to see
You're the player in the game

She camp up to me, said
Wanna know a mystery
Whole wide world for you to see
You're the player in the game
