Think about how you'll never ever make par
Though you try you'll just fall short
Another stab, a God-made soul you are killing
With hot tears welled in your
Eyes are looking down
There's no one else around
Just believe, even though you think you're wrong
Play along, play along like all humans do
And even when the work week's long
Play along, play along, fake you've got a clue
Play along
Play along

So a lab you don't understand completely
Could be the day you get your first "F"
Car is gone but you won't stoop down to cheating
With hot tears welled in your
Eyes are looking down
Can you be happy now?

Just believe, even though you think you're wrong
Play along, play along like all humans do
And even when the work week's long
Play along, play along, fake you've got a clue
Play along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)

When the work week's long, we play along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
When the work week's long, we play along
Along, along, along

Even though you think you're wrong
Play along, play along like all humans do
And even when the work week's long
Play along, play along, fake you've got a clue
[x3]

(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
You may think you're wrong
But play along
