Serving as more of a retelling of, rather than a sequel to Part 1, Bowie is still angry about world problems like suppression, refugees, etc. This time, however, the anger is more clear, less uncontrollable.

It’s No Game (Part 2) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Silhouettes and shadows
Watch the revolution
No more free steps to heaven
Just walkie-talkie
Heaven or hearth
Just big heads and drums
Full speed and pagan
[Chorus]
And it's no game
[Verse 2]
I am barred
From the event
I really don't understand the situation
So where's the moral?
People have their fingers broken
To be insulted by these fascists it's so degrading
[Chorus]
And it's no game
[Bridge]
Documentaries on refugees
Couples 'gainst the target
Throw a rock against the road
And it breaks into pieces
Draw the blinds on yesterday
And it's all so much scarier
Put a bullet in my brain
And it makes all the papers
[Chorus]
And it's no game
[Verse 3]
Children round the world
Put camel shit on the walls
They're making carpets on treadmills
Or garbage sorting
[Chorus]
And it's no game
