“Young Man’s Game” Music & Lyrics By Chris Orbach

Kiss my babies, kiss my wife
Everyone’s asleep
Get the gear for my other life
Head out to the street
Start the car, man I hope she runs
Hope I make good time
Big Blue, don’t you let me down
And I’m sure it’ll all be fine

It’s a young man’s game
So The experts say
It’s a young man’s game
But I’ll play anyway

Find a station that I almost like
And it fades away
To hell with shelling out for sattellite
I got too many bills to pay
Sorted out by the marketplace
I guess it’s just as well
Traded skill for a pretty face
Man, the gate-keepers still can’t tell

It’s a young man’s game
So the experts say
It’s a young man’s game
But I’ll play anyway

Trading stories when I meet the boys
Till we’re falling down
At the last place you can still make noise
In this uptight town
Way back in my so-called prime
I killed for miles around
Dead night, I won’t make a dime
But I’ll still melt the fuckers down

It’s a young man’s game
So the experts say
It’s a young man’s game
But I’ll play...
I’ll play anyway
