Lyrics

Reality Show

Enter your lifetime
You swing from vine to vine
You twirl here and land over there
A reality show
Replays all that you love and know
It documents the pressures you bear

(Season 1) - is a hot pursuit
(Season 2) - you kiss a deadly newt
(Season 3) - you lose your hair - you swear

It’s all in the game
It’s all in the game
It’s all in the game now
There’s no one to blame
It’s all in the game
There’s no one to shame now

Ugh
Good god
Such optimism hurts
Looking down from the stratosphere
One looks so small on the bottom tier
Got to build yourself up into something bigger

(Season 4) - take time to reboot
(Season 5) - go the scenic route
(Season 6) - you’re not no quitter - consider…

It’s all in the game
It’s all in the game
It’s all in the game now
There’s no one to blame
It’s all in the game
There’s no one to shame now

(Season 7) - rise above the bars
(Season 8) - chin up to the stars
(Season 9) - this anticlimactic end is so endemic - ah ha
Thank the pandemic

Still it’s all in the game
It’s all in the game
It’s all in the game now
There’s no one to blame
It’s all in the game
There’s no one to shame now
