Price To Play in frontman Aaron Lewis’s words “Lyrically, what started the song was my frustrations with having to be back in the studio writing more songs and feeling like we were underneath somebody’s thumb, but it turned into a song that just applies to life in general. And it’s kind of tongue-in...
[Verse 1]
Fail to see
How destructive we can be
Taking without giving back
'Till the damage can be seen
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you see?
Can you see?
[Chorus]
The more you take, the more you blame
For everything still feels the same
The more you hurt, the more you scream
The price you pay to play the game
Then all you see, and all you gain
And all you step on with no shame
There are no rules, no one to blame
The price to play the game
[Verse 2]
Apathy
The chosen way to be
Blindly look the other way
While you waste away with me
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you see?
Can you see?
[Chorus]
The more you take, the more you blame
For everything still feels the same
The more you hurt, the more you scream
The price you pay to play the game
Then all you see, and all you gain
And all you step on with no shame
There are no rules, no one to blame
The price to play the game
[Bridge]
What you pay to play the game
What you pay to play the game
What you pay to play the game
What you pay to play the game
[Chorus]
The more you take , the more you blame
But everything still feels the same
The more you hurt, the more you scream
The price you pay to play the game
And all you see, and all you gain
And all you step on with no shame
There are no rules, no one to blame
The price to play the game
[Outro]
What you pay to play the game
What you pay to play the game
What you pay to play the game
What you pay to play the game
