The Player Lyrics - Levellers

There isn't much to gain 

By living it all the same way 

The years just slip away 

And it's too late then to play 

If you live from day to day 

You can play the game your own way 

There's a million things to say 

In a million places 

For her, it stays the same 

Though a million towers have tumbled 

And you can hear her pain 

Voiced in a distant rumble 

And when it starts to rain 

All your monoliths will crumble 

Well, it's always been the same 

Don't you feel a little humble? 

She came up to me 

Said, "Wanna know a mystery? 

A whole wide world for you to see 

You're a player in the game" 

She came up to me 

Said, "Wanna know a mystery? 

A whole wide world for you to see 

You're a player in the game" 

Well, I've nothing left to say 

Except take the time to ramble 

In a million different ways 

There's a million paths to travel 

When there's something in the way 

Take your time please remember 

There's hope yet in the rain 

And a voice in distant thunder 

She came up to me 

Said, "Wanna know a mystery? 

A whole wide world for you to see 

You're a player in the game" 

She came up to me 

Said, "Wanna know a mystery? 

A whole wide world for you to see 

You're a player in the game"
