©2003 Anything Times Zero
You used to look at me as if I didn't belong
You used to scowl at me for all that I did wrong
You were set in your ways, you'd been around a while
And it took several days, before you left denial
That now I live here, so get used to it
But I'm nothing to fear, I think you're used to it
I wanna fight, even though I know you'll win
The war is over, before it begins
But still, I'll start it right up again
And say, "Let the games begin"
You used to leave the room whenever I would enter
As if this was your world and you stood at the center
But then you realized I didn't take your place
And you accepted me, but never my embrace
And now I've been around the block, just so you know it
But you still can give me a shock, I think you know it
I wanna fight, even though I know you'll win
The war is over, before it begins
But still, I'll start it right up again
And say, "Let the games begin"
And now I'm all grown up, I'm such a great big boy
But you still won't let me play with all your toys
The battle's just begun, our skills and wits are tried
You know it's all in fun, so shall we step outside'
You know I just don't want to play follow the leader
And I don't know what to say ' I'm not an avid reader
But I wanna fight, and I think I just might win
The war is never over until it begins
And so, let's start it right up again
We'll say, "Let the games begin"
