THE WEEPING GAME

When I saw him yesterday
His eyes were shining so bright
But all that has changed
Now he plays the weeping game tonight

I heard on the news broadcast
Last night on TV
All his wheeling and dealing friends
Nowhere to be found in his time of need

They help get you high
But they won't catch you when you fall
So much for those suburban ghetto boys
They weren't so tough after all

When I saw him yesterday
His eyes were shining so bright
But all that has changed
Now he plays the weeping game tonight

Maybe you were naïve, my friend
You wanted to have a little fun
But now the walls are closing in
And there's nowhere to run

I know it may not be fair
It was only one throw of the dice
But you should've known
That's all it takes to take a life

It's such a sad thing to say
They said your future was so bright
But now it's too late
Because you play the weeping game tonight
