See, in game theory, it serves you to be two-faced
Be everyone's friend 'till the moment you're not
You make them love you so much that when they're up against it
Their loyalty will make them act against their own best interests
That's game theory
A cold, rational, focus on winning
Even if it's at everyone else's expense
Be everyone's friend 'till the moment you're not
I mean, true game theory, everything, everyone is a contingency
You meet people, you bring them into your life and you keep them percolating
Until the moment you need to manipulate the relationship to your advantage
Schema as deep and as calculating as that can
In the end, spin a man off into madness
He might initially think smaller evils are okay in the service of a greater good
But the dance of good and evil could become jumbled
And the manipulation itself becomes the most important thing
Becomes about winning rather than whether the game should be won at all
I mean, true game theory, everything, everyone is a contingency
Be everyone's friend 'till the moment you're not
You make them love you so much that when they're up against it
Their loyalty will make them act against their own best interests
That's game theory
A cold, rational, focus on winning
Even if it's at everyone else's expense
Be everyone's friend 'till the moment you're not
I mean, true game theory, everything, everyone is a contingency
You meet people, you bring them into your life and you keep them percolating
Until the moment you need to manipulate the relationship to your advantage
Schema as deep and as calculating as that can
In the end, spin a man off into madness
He might initially think smaller evils are okay in the service of a greater good
But the dance of good and evil could become jumbled
And the manipulation itself becomes the most important thing
Becomes about winning rather than whether the game should be won at all
I mean, true game theory, everything, everyone is a contingency
