Story Behind the Song
The Game that is Los Angeles. Josh and Lynda Kay were hangin' out at LK's place in Venice Beach when Josh started with a riff. Josh left, LK came up with these dark lyrics to match the mood of this eery-ness on the plains sounding song. ´
Lyrics
Verse 1
Everybody's playin' a game.
But I don't know what it is.
Hidin' all the decks,
And hoardin' all the chips.
Dolin' out the pieces without names.
"If you just trust in me, I'll show you the way."
"Come on, little girl, I'll teach you to play the game.
Chorus
If I call, then put your cards on the table.
Don't put me in your box, come on and take a stand.
Free your mind, at least when you are able,
Baby, if you wanna play with me,
Play the The Game right.
Verse 2
Everybody's tellin' jokes,
But I don't know what they mean.
Well rehearsed lies,
That wanna subjugate your dreams.
Climbin' up your back just to get out,
Like drowning rats at a cocktail party or men in a mine shaft.
Ruin you at any cost,
That's the name of The Game.
Chorus
