I’ve been sprinting the wrong race

Shouting the wrong lines

Trusted GPA converted to USD$

But the Game of Life is never that simple

And I’m running out on time

I’ve been playing the wrong cards

Holding out on double dice

He’s bought Boardwalk, she Tennessee Ave

I cycle the railroads

Paying out time after time

I’m twisted up, tumbling over

Deck’s growing in my hands

My Queen’s exposed, Bishops both gone

No 4 in a row

just botched up plans

Wish to call a truce

As another ship sinks

And the letters don’t show as I wished

Building a tower from scratch

Doesn’t work very well

When you spend little time on the base
