Ginger Ladd - Play Stupid Games (Win Stupid Prizes)

Tick-tock, tick-tock
Your time's running out, it's time to talk
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Beat the clock, beat the clock
It's taken me years, but I'm ready to play
No better time than to press start today
I was just six, you said, Let's play a game
After your turn, I was never the same
Listen up, Tex, 'Cuz you're to blame
You're gonna feel my pain
Never the same, feel my pain
Tag, you're it, that's what you'd say
Put your right hand on red, don't make a sound
I'll spin you around, it won't take long
Goodnight, keep it secret, back to bed
Won't be sorry, I'll show you mine if you show me yours,
Now you're gonna play my game, feel my roar
Pawn, pawn, it's my turn
Beat the clock, watch it burn
I'm so ready to defame your name
Now you're gonna play my game
After your moves, never the same
In this life, you'll feel my flame
Feel my flame, feel the flame
Seen you once in all these years
Offered me a ride, whispered my fears
Am I supposed to take the high road
When your game still troubles my dreams untold
I'm gonna roll the dice, it's my turn to play
Didn't have to tell your family, they already knew
Swept under the rug, all shiny and new
Time's up, show you my hand, time to pay
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
Now you'll see where the real surprise is
Made me feel less than I am
But now I stand, stronger than planned
This is my chessboard, do you feel shame
After your game, never the same
Shame, shame, shame
Let's cut the deck, beat the clock
Dealt your own hand; ready to talk
I'm so ready to defame your name
Now you're gonna play my game
After your moves, never the same
In this life, you'll feel my flame
Feel my flame, feel my flame
Time's up, tick-tock, buzzer goes off
My silence breaks, I'll never stop
Never stop, never stop
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Get a clue, I'll never stop
Walk the walk? Time to talk
Tick, tick,
Tick, tick, tock
The game's unlocked, the game's unlocked
Tick, tick,
Tick, tick, tock
Time to talk
Tick-tock, buzzer goes off
My silence breaks, I'll never stop
Never stop, never stop
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Get a clue, I'll never stop
Walk the walk? Time to talk
Tick, tick,
Tick, tick, tock
The game's unlocked, the game's unlocked
Tick, tock, unlocked,
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tock
Time to talk
