lyrics

I'm not gonna play
but you can play your own game
I'm not gonna pay, pay, pay
but you can pay your own way

No I'm not gonna play
but you can play your own game
and I'm not gonna pay, pay, pay
but you can pay your own way

I don't wanna be
a canary in a coal mine
the deeper I go into this part of your mind
the air gets thick
and poison thin
and sun don't shine

I'm not gonna play
but you can play your own game
I'm not gonna pay, pay, pay
but you can pay your own way

No, I'm not gonna play
but you can play your own game
I'm not gonna pay, pay, pay
but you can pay your own way

This time I don't wanna hide
in any tunnel you can find
I'm not gonna sing
I'm just gonna fly
out into the sky

I'm not gonna play
but you can play your own game
I'm not gonna pay, pay, pay
but you can pay your own way

No, I'm not gonna play
but you can play your own game
I'm not gonna pay, pay, pay
but you can pay your own way
