[Intro: Seth Sentry]

Yes, sir

[Chorus: Moody Blues, Seth Sentry]

Can you see in your mind's eye

That we are one

We're all the same

And life is just a simple game?

And he missed those days when the kids all played

When a fistful of dirt made him rich all day

Now he sits in a grave and he grips on a fistful of change that he saved

It's a simple game


[Verse 1: Seth Sentry]

I thought life was a linear game

With a singular aim, just to get paid, whatever it takes

Slave for a generous wage

And at the end of the day, my little head'll be raised

Hi, my name's withered and greyed

Everythin' I ever made now is frittered away

Every friend I ever had came second in place to the cash

How much cash can I fit in this grave?

I regret viewing life as a contest

It's not just thousand-dollar suits and watches

It's not just, "Man, I gotta do what the boss says"

Obnoxious? (Yeah) But I got the hottest stock tips

Got lost in what's most important for my pockets and other assorted nonsense

My name's forgotten conscience

Life is simple, I developed a complex

[Chorus: Moody Blues, Seth Sentry]

Can you see in your mind's eye

That we are one

We're all the same

And life is just a simple game?

And he missed those days when the kids all played

When a fistful of dirt made him rich all day

Now, he sits in a grave and he grips on a fistful of change that he saved

It's a simple game


[Post-Chorus: Seth Sentry]

(All we own) Is worthless when

(Home sweet home's) A furnace and

(Though we know) We can’t keep our purchase

(We know) We’ll see how much ash this urn fits


[Verse 2: Seth Sentry]

Yeah, from the poor to dirt rich

We all turn the same direction the Earth twists

I learned this late, but it's nothin' I can't fix

Hold my pride as I traverse this burnt bridge

Fuck spendin' my whole life in a job that I don't like to go buy shit that I don't need

It's so easy to fall into the trap

"I'm better than him, I got more crap" (Look)

Even if you're not sure what you're on this rock for

You're worth more than the money in your sock drawer

That's enough talk, that's the naked truth

My name is you

[Chorus: Moody Blues, Seth Sentry]

Can you see in your mind's eye

That we are one

We're all the same

And life is just a simple game?

And he missed those days when the kids all played

When a fist full of dirt made him rich all day

Now, he sits in a grave and he grips on a fistful of change that he saved

It's a simple game

—Eye

That we are one

We're all the same

And life is just a simple game?

And he missed those days when the kids all played

When a fist full of dirt made 'em rich all day

Now, he sits in a grave and he grips on a fistful of change that he saved


[Outro: Seth Sentry]

This world ain't turnin' on us

This world is turnin' with us

This world ain't turnin' on us

This world is turnin' with us

This world ain't turnin' on us

This world is turnin' with us

This world ain't turnin' on us

This world is turnin' with us
