You're up on the scoreboard
But the audience is sick of this collateral damage
And this game's been going on for far too long
And the audience is sick of the same old song

We don't need a coach to recognize what matters most
And we don't need a book of plays to construct security
And everyone's a thief these days
Just trying to find the next loop that pays

But now you and me
We refuse to play
We both have beating hearts underneath our skin
So let the games begin
And hopefully we can build shelter from the storm
Before they go for the win

We don't need a coach to recognize what matters most to us
And we don't need a book of plays to construct security

We got a voice and a brain
And we've got to be playing from inside of this city
And everyone's a thief these days
Just trying to find the next loop that pays

But now you and me
We refuse to play
We both have beating hearts underneath our skin
So let the games begin
And hopefully we can build shelter from the storm
Before they go for the win
Before they go for the win

We don't need a coach to recognize what matters most to us
And we don't need a book of plays to construct security
