lyrics

Let's play a game, it's called 'charades'
But not like the kind that you used to play
'Cause you'll be you and I'll be me for once
It's kinda cool that you know the rules
But you've played for awhile and I'd like to
I'd like to play too

Is it my turn soon?

The game of Life is quite the same
But though we share a name
You know it's better if I live my own life
'Cause no one wants to turn into his father
'Cause once you do, you know you're screwed
'Cause then you lose a part of what used to be
Used to be, used to be you

...and him too

Is it my turn soon?
Is it my turn soon?

Do your job and guide me
Direct my shoulders from behind me
Take my hand and walk beside me
'Cause I'm beside myself right now
I can never be you
Even if it's what you'd like me to do
Accept this person standing in front of you
'Cause this is me and it's who I am

I'm prayin' to my brothers for mercy
I'm hopin' that I have your sympathy
I'm clouded and I need an epiphany
Someone's got to come and show me the way
I'm prayin' to my brothers for mercy
I'm hopin' that I have your sympathy
I'm clouded and I need an epiphany
Someone's got to come and show me the way

Is it my turn soon?
Is it my turn soon?

Do your job and guide me
Direct my shoulders from behind me
Take my hand and walk beside me
'Cause I'm beside myself right now
I can never be you
Even if it's what you'd like me to do
Accept this person standing in front of you
'Cause this is me and it's who I am

I'm prayin' to my brothers for mercy
I'm hopin' that I have your sympathy
I'm clouded and I need an epiphany
Someone's got to come and show me the way
I'm prayin' to my brothers for mercy
I'm hopin' that I have your sympathy
I'm clouded and I need an epiphany
Someone's got to come and take me away from this place
