World Game

This song was first released on the It's About Time Album. It is the only album it has been released on.
 I want to play in the World Game
 I want to make it better it's ever been before
 I want to play in the World Game
 I want to make sure everybody knows the score
 About using less, doing so much more
 Everywhere I'm going I see trouble
 Everywhere I'm looking I see all kinds of pain
 Maybe we can get back on the double
 Maybe we can turn around and make it all change
 They say it's you against your neighbor
 If it gets right down to it, you against your friend
 I swear that this is not the answer
 As far as I can see it is the way it all ends
 I want to play in the World Game
 I want to make it better it's ever been before
 I want to play in the World Game
 I want to make sure everybody knows the score
 About using less and doing so much more
 Hey man, you know me I don't worry
 Hey man, you know me I am never afraid
 Only one thing can make me sorry
 Something to say and then it never gets said
 What kind of man turns on his brother
 What kind of man turns his back on a friend
 Who has the right to say it's over
 Who has the right to see how far it can bend
 I want to play in the World Game
 I want to make it better it's ever been before
 I want to play in the World Game
 I want to make sure everybody knows the score
 About using less, doing so much more
 Yaweh yaweh yaweh jah
 Yaweh yaweh yaweh jah
 Yaweh yaweh yaweh jah
 Yaweh yaweh yaweh jah
 You and me you and me
 You and me you and me
 I and I - I and I
 I and I - I and I
 I want to play in the World Game
 I want to make it better it's ever been before
 I want to play in the World Game
 I want to make sure everybody knows the score
 About using less, doing so much more
