Badfinger - The Name Of The Game Lyrics

I saw the railway master, and I looked him in the eye
Said "Would you go much faster
if you thought that you would die?"
He said "Not me sir, I could not care, in fact I would not try
For protest would not take me far
it's different me not being a star."
I lock my feelings in a jar, until another day
Oh comfort me dear brother, won't you tell me what you know
For somewhere in this paper world is a place where I can go
Oh long-awaited mother, is it time to make a show?
And take your babies to your breasts
you know we never passed the test
And all our sins should be confessed before we carry on.
Oh, don't refuse me
if you choose me, you'll follow my shame
No, don't confuse me
for I know it's the name of the game
I got up off my pillow and I looked up at the sun
Said "You can see quite clearly now
the things that we have done.
We've burned your sacred willow and our battles, we have won.
But did we get so very far?
It's different me not being a star."
I lock my feelings in a jar, until they go away
Oh, don't refuse me
if you choose me, you'll follow my shame
No, don't confuse me
for I know it's the name of the game
