Ben J. Pierce - Little Game lyrics

Play us like pawns and relentlessly confine Into living up to gender roles and having absent minds Don't you think it's funny how they tell us how to live? Don't you think it's funny how we're all delinquent kids? Like Hush now Don't say, Don't say Hush boy, oh Hush boy Don't say a word Throw on your Jersey and no-one gets hurt Hush girl, oh Hush girl Just bat your eyes Play our little game Play our little game Bounded all thoughts and corrected common sense You're raising suicidals with your predetermined titles Like "A mess, distress" "I am unimpressed, you're excess" "A dress is all you'll ever be" Gender roles impose control and deceive progressive time Welcome to the land of the broken mind Hush boy, oh Hush boy Don't say a word Throw on your Jersey and no-one gets hurt Hush girl, oh Hush girl Just bat your eyes Play our little game Play our little game We feign opulence to get by Put on false confidence just to feel alive They can't hurt me anymore There's nothing left to break of me Nothing left to take from me Cos Baby it's easy to fake a smile When you've been doing it for a while Baby it's easy to fake a smile When you've been doing it for a while Hush boy, oh Hush boy Don't say a word Throw on your Jersey and no-one gets hurt Hush girl, oh Hush girl Just bat your eyes Play our little game Play our little game Hush boy, oh Hush boy Hush girl, oh Hush Girl Play, play, play, play Play our little game Play our little game Play our little game Play our little game Play our little game Won't you play with me?
