No One Wants To Play

Try to impress them with what you think they want
 Your methods are subtle, just like an elephant
 Besides, all the retreads and all the arguments
 You can't make decisions based on feeling
 Friendships fall away from this
 Adhering to your politics
 So prod and pry and give your ideas
 It doesn't matter 'til you get your own way
 Once again, your crown is tarnished
 'Cause you're the winner of a game that no one wants to play
 No one wants to play
 Don't celebrate just yet 'cause I think that you forget
 That no one wants to play

 Rules are suggestions because they aren't real
 Some from the get-go, and some from how you feel
 You play all positions and show them how it's done
 Soon you're a figurehead lost on everyone
 If there's a theory, I know there's consequence
 I'm sure that you've learned now, you can't stay on the fence
 You've taken opinions until the words are bent
 Voice of an angel, thoughts of serpent
 Friendships fall away from this
 Adhering to your politics
 So prod and pry and give your ideas
 It doesn't matter 'til you get your own way
 Once again, your crown is tarnished
 'Cause you're the winner of a game that no one wants to play
 No one wants to play
 Don't celebrate just yet 'cause I think that you forget

 There was a boy who woke from a dream one day
 He thought it over
 He planned out everything
 He wouldn't rest 'til his waking dream came true
 And there were choices that he knew must be made
 The fallen silenced by all the accolades
 And so he delegates the many things to do

 So many things to do
 So many things to do
 Prod and pry and give your ideas
 It doesn't matter 'til you get your own way
 Once again, your crown is tarnished
 'Cause you're the winner of a game that no one wants to play
 No one wants to play
 Don't celebrate just yet 'cause I think that you forget
