What a stupid game we humans play.
A game of wit of charm of a bunch of bull.
There are players who lie & scheme
who play with the mind.
And then there are the Feeble
who must live in the lies
Believing them or not
cause they can't hurt a fly.
The feeble get played like a fiddle
till the're used up
Then the players move on
cause there are other fish to fry
But there are are also those who play both sides
who seem feeble and meek.
They are the ones who win this game
they're the ones with spells of words
they weave till feebles
are trapped inside
with out any doupts.
These are the roles we play
in this game of Hearts
There's no escape just a court
So we must choose to hurt
or be hurt
