Complicated Game - XTC

I ask myself, «Should I put my finger to the left?

No.»

I ask myself, «Should I put my finger to the right?

No.»

It doesn’t really matter where I put my finger

Someone else will come along and move it

And it’s always been the same

It’s just a complicated game

It’s just a complicated game

A little girl asked me, should she part her hair up on the left?

No

A little girl asked me, should she part her hair up on the right?

No

I said, «It really doesn’t matter where you part your hair

Someone else will come along and move it

And it’s always been the same

It’s just a complicated game

It’s just a complicated game.»

A little boy asked me, should he put his vote upon the Left?

A little boy asked me, should he put his vote upon the Right?

I said, «It really doesn’t matter where you put your vote

'Cause someone else will come along and move it

And it’s always been the same

It’s just a complicated game

It’s just a complicated game.»

They wanted Tom, they wanted Joe

To dress 'em up and stick 'em out on show

They were holding arrows in a very bad aim

It’s just a complicated game

God asked me, should he ought to put his world up on the left?

No

God asked me, should he ought to put his world up on the right?

I said, «It doesn’t really matter where you put your world

Someone will come along and move it

And it’s always been the same

It’s just a complicated game

It’s just a complicated game

It’s just a complicated game

Just a complicated game.»
