Lyrics:

There are unsmiling faces and bright plastic chainsAnd a wheel in perpetual motionAnd they follow the races and pay out the gainsWith no show of an outward emotionAnd they think it will make their lives easierFor God knows up till now it's been hardBut the game never ends when your whole world dependsOn the turn of a friendly cardNo the game never ends when your whole world dependsOn the turn of a friendly cardThere's a sign in the desert that lies to the westWhere you can't tell the night from the sunriseAnd not all's the King's horses and all the King's menHave prevented the fall of the unwiseFor they think it will make their lives easierAnd God knows up till now it's been hardBut the game never ends when your whole world dependsOn the turn of a friendly cardNo the game never ends when your whole world dependsOn the turn of a friendly cardNo the game never ends when your whole world dependsOn the turn of a friendly cardNo the game never ends when your whole world dependsOn the turn of a friendly card
