Grade School Games (Live)

Love, drugs, sex, pain
Those are just grade schools games
Nothing major
Nothing ages
Nothing changes but the names and dates

Fear, pride, faith, shame
Those are just grade schools games
Nothing major
Nothing ages
Nothing stranger than the neighbors' place

You can't make me play by all new rules
Some kids barely practice but I do

Love, drugs, sex, pain
Those are just grade school games
Nothing major
Nothing dangerous
The operations of arcades can't change

Blush, pull, push, blame
Those are just grade school games
Nothing major
Just old behaviors
Trade some favors
Then give chase, take aim

You can't make me play by all new rules
Some kids barely practice but I do (I do, I do)

I'm old enough to know how this goes
And how it all plays out
The end is always when the ring is empty
And we all fall down

I'm old enough to know how this goes (Love, drugs, sex, pain)
And how it all plays out (all)
The end is always when the ring is empty
And we all fall down

I'm old enough to know how this goes (Some kids barely
And how it all plays out (practice but I do)
The end is always when the ring is empty
And we all fall down

Love, drugs, sex, pain
Those are just grade schools games
Nothing major
Nothing ages
Nothing changes but the names and dates
