Playing the Game
Kjelland/Ranney

Silence in the crowd
Step out on the stage
No one knows our songs
No one knows our names
I see a room of strangers
As sweat pours down my face
Just as all the pressure builds
The band begins to play

Take a look around you and
See the way the game is played

Start another song
Drummer sets the pace
Strumming on the six string
Slapping on the bass
Singers belt out harmony
The crowd begins to sway
Amps are set on overdrive
The band is on its way

Feeling like a rock star
Getting our first taste
Music pounds the rafters
Sound begins to rage
Temperature is rising
People rush the stage
Got nowhere to go
The band is in a cage

The band begins to fade
