Play the Man Lyrics

They play the ball, they play the man
They do whatever they can
Use whatever they can to succeed
Watching you sanitize
They spit in your eye
And they tell you how you should proceed

With the player of games
You′ll find no sense of shame
Single-minded in all that they do
So what to do then is to do unto them
What they would have done unto you

So play the ball, play the man
Do whatever you can
When it's the only way you can get through

Oh, and don′t think twice
About playing nice
It's just bad advice
From the fools
'Cause the fools don′t know
Of the so and so′s
Who would see them dining on gruel

Yeah, they play the ball, they play the man
They do whatever they can
Use whatever they can to succeed
Watching you sanitize
They spit in your eye
And they tell you how you should proceed

With the player of games
You'll find no sense of shame
Single-minded in all that they do
So what to do then is to do unto them
What they would have done unto you

So play the ball, play the man
Do whatever you can
When it′s the only way you can get through
