Story behind the song
I have often heard people excuse rude or wrong behaviour by saying "Just fooling" or "It was just a game". It annoyed me so much, I wrote a folk song about it.
Lyrics
3- It's a Game © 2003 S. McGaughey (May 23,2003) We're just a bunch of little boys Having some fun with our military toys He hit me back first now he's hurt And somebody's crying in the dirt. Chorus: It's a game, a game, it's only a game. If someone gets hurt well I'm not to blame Your silly rules (laws) do not apply to me Cause I'm only playing a game. Mr. Chief Executive he has style He can tell you a lie through his million dollar smile Your billions of stock didn't buy my farm Some dirty whistleblower's just sounding an alarm Chorus Modern war is a video game. Planes can wipe out whole towns in democracy's name Without ever seeing who's on the ground They're just throwing rocks beyond the speed of sound. Chorus Bridge Boys will be boys and they play rough If some sissy starts crying well that's just tough It doesn't matter if you break the rules or not Its only wrong if you get caught Well Washington's declared they're protectors of the earth. They'll go to great lengths to protect their own net worth If they don't agree with you, they can make your life hard. They will put your face on a deck of cards.
