Lyrics
You got the prize but you paid the money, man
You hit those clowns fair and square in the mouth
We take our chances at sideshow alley but
You took a chance and put your ass on the line
That's what we have to do to win that prize
Don't say nobody told you
Or taught you how to play modern life
It's just a game but the golden rule is
You never ever get the same chance twice
And that's modern life
Don't say nobody told you
Or taught you how to play modern life
It's just a game but the golden rule is
You never ever get the same chance twice
And that's modern life
Bozo the clown is struttin' 'round the city
Without his make-up he's a sorry sight
He thinks he knows every trick in the book
He plays the game by cheatin' and lyin'
I watch him slowly dyin' inside
He's got a monkey to collect all his money
They go to discos in a Porsche turbo drive
They spend their days playin' games on a palm tree
Then put the money up their nose every night
And wonder why they are dyin' inside
Don't say nobody told you
Or taught you how to play modern life
It's just a game but the golden rule is
You never ever get the same chance twice
And that's modern life
Don't say nobody told you
Or taught you how to play modern life
It's just a game but the golden rule is
You never ever get the same chance twice
And that's modern life
Don't say nobody told you
Or taught you how to play modern life
It's just a game but the golden rule is
You never ever get the same chance twice
And that's modern life
Don't say nobody told you
Or taught you how to play modern life
It's just a game but the golden rule is
You never ever get the same chance twice
And that's modern life
Don't say nobody told you
Or taught you how to play modern life
