The World's a Deflated Football (Just a Game)

The World's a Deflated Football (Just a Game)

Verse1:

The world's a deflated football
Blindly hurtling through space
Will it touch down gently
Or hit Marcia in the face?

The crowds are getting rowdy
Cheering wildly for their teams
Obscenities are flying
Don't even know what that one means

Pre-Chorus:
But somehow I know that things will be all right
When the morning comes we'll only see highlights

Chorus:
'Cause it's all
Just a game
And we're all
Still the same
Though we stumble and fumble and generally act lame
Oh it's all
(All, all, all)
Just a game

Verse 2:

The world is a poker table
But the stakes can get too high
It ought to be more friendly
Like a night out with the guys

Sometimes you might get angry
Or call someone a jerk
But the next day it means nothing
When you see them back at work

Pre-Chorus 2:
And somehow I know that things will be all right
Forget that you bet on your wedding ring last night

Chorus 2:
'Cause it's all
Just a game
And we're all
Still the same
All in with two fours like we've suddenly lost our brains
In the end,
(Don't you know)
It's just a game

Bridge:

And everyone in the world
Is on the same team
The flames on our shirts may look cooler,
But it's the same team

Chorus 3:

And it's all,
Just a game...
Yeah, we're all,
Still the same
Put some air in this ball, we can play with it in the rain
'Cause it's all..
(All all all)
Just a game
Just a game

I'd have wanted you to develop the personal life of Marcia, continuing with the deflated football metaphor. That would be more engaging.

A refreshingly clever lyric, with really great imagery.

The decision to not run riot with the clever Marcia mention, was wise... good judgement. Mentioning it once, and in a pinch in the ass sort of way ( ie.." Where did that come from ... I like it") makes it more memorable.

The chorus, I wouldn't have persisted with 'ame' rhyme...the lame part sounds like you're settling. Glad to see you swapped it 2 nd chorus. That's just my opinion, on what is a more provoking and less sell out lyric...and fun too
