(Chorus) It's the turn of a card, The roll of a dice, Don't even have to think twice, If you don't play, you can't be a winner, so shuffle the deck, and pull the lever, make your stand play your hand Life is a game - so play on! (Verse 1) We're born into the game With a hand we're dealt to play It may be full of wild cards we turn up every day Walking the road of our Destiny There's black and white in all we see Sometimes shades of gray Creep in so roll the dice and begin again (Chorus) It's the turn of a card, The roll of a dice, Don't even have to think twice, If you don't play, you can't be a winner, so shuffle the deck, and pull the lever, make your stand play your hand Life is a game - so play on! (Verse 2) The opponent sits there Gaunt and grim You've never seen the likes of him He'll raise the stakes Each time you bet and believe me he won't soon forget That if you don't pay you don't play so wear those pennies on your eyes and cast the runes up to the skies (Chorus) It's the turn of a card, The roll of a dice, Don't even have to think twice, If you don't play, you can't be a winner, so shuffle the deck, and pull the lever, make your stand play your hand Life is a game - so play on! (Verse 3) These ponies run fate's fastest track Once they go, they can't come back So place your bet and cheer them on They're swift as seconds , now they've gone Racers run, or boxers fight, no matter what the game you've got the might To face whatever Life can spawn Just keep on playing on! (Chorus) It's the turn of a card, The roll of a dice, Don't even have to think twice, If you don't play, you can't be a winner, so shuffle the deck, and pull the lever, make your stand play your hand Life is a game - so play on! (Repeat Chorus)
