You got to lay down the money  If you want to save time  But, clock doesn’t tick   If you can’t save money    You got to pick up the pieces  If you want to stay found  But, it’s an uphill climb  Just to see if it’s broken    It’s a long way to go  When you’re taking that step  You’ll get there sooner  With the wheels in motion    You got to say what you mean  If you want to survive  You got to keep it all in    Just to keep from crying    Chorus  It’s a crazy game  It’s a ball and chain  There is no right or wrong  At the moment of truth  And no one decides but you  In this crazy game  This crazy game   You’ve got to slow things down  and take a deep breath  But you can’t stop running  When demands are growing     You’ve got to praise the lord  If you want to be saved  Got to save your self  Or be forsaken     There’s a lot to learn  When you’re taking a chance  There’s a lot to lose  When the choice is taken    You’ve got to jump that gun  For a place in the race  You’ve got to walk that line  If you want to get there    Repeat chorus
