Just a Game




Life is just a game, We only play never to win
So many achievements unachieved
The game of us plays us all for fool, stings attached so many silly rules
Life so many trophies gathered, none worth a cent
Life is just a game, rich or poor we play the same
No way to win, its all a game, playing all of us for fools
Yanking each string making us do what we do
Life is just a game, win or lose its all the same
Life is just that of a game

HA!


This fox sees everything


That is a cool song actually.  Though your poem is easily its own creation.

[JollyGreenFox]

Maybe....idk

[Trixsie Vixen]

True story.


I recommend (if I may be so bold) you do one more draft (or have someone play editor for grammar and flow) and I'll write music for it.


It has a different tone than that song and has a very different philosophical emphasis.  I think it would be great.

If you would like to, my voice sucks for singing lol and if anyone wants the can...i can try and re write it but i need a temp or some music to go to

I guess this is my sort of thing, how's this look to you: 



Verse 1
Life is just a game,
We only play, never to win
So many achievements
Achievements  unachieved


Chorus
The game of us
Plays us all for fools
Strings attached
So many silly rules


Verse 2
Life so many trophies gathered
None worth a cent
Life is just a game
Rich or poor we play the same


Bridge
No way to win, it’s all a game
Playing all of us for fools


[Repeat Chorus]


Verse 3
Yanking each string
Making us do what we do
Life is just a game
Win or lose its all the same


[Repeat Chorus]


Life is just that of a game

I like it and depending what rythm you put it too it could sounds good

[Trixsie Vixen]

OK, I did an Excel file.  Ran out of time to do a chord chart.  It will be easy though it's basically two bars for each chord except for 1 chord per bar for a few at the end of sections.


Let's hope this PDF attaches

I could try an record some piano on my phone.  But the recording quality sounds like a steel drum through a phaser pedal


It's meant for guitar in my head *shrugs*

Life is just a game, win or lose its all the same
Life is just that of a game

It's more of a battle. It's worse when you don't know who's on your side, and you are your own enemy. That's a bit of my life with OCD. The plague is everywhere, you are all after me, and we have to view the blackened soul we have become into the mirror because control of our own thoughts slip away like sand between our fingers. I live every day in fear and hope. But It drives me to conquer it, and with enough determination, I will.
