I've been waiting, contemplating
Dreaming of the day that I could make my move
And it's cruel

Now I, I'm rolling the dice
And playing the game
But nobody told me that everything's changed
And it's changed

You can play the game
But you can't make the rules
It's cruel, so cruel

If all the world's the stage
Then we are played the fool
It's cruel, so cruel

Snakes and ladders, nothing matters
Hunted by the words I never said to you
And it's cruel

Now I, I've played my turn
And turned to the skies
And I saw that look burning in your eyes
How could I be so blind?

You can play the game
But you can't make the rules
It's cruel, so cruel

If all the world's the stage
Then we are played the fool
It's cruel, so cruel
