Lyrics
It's a game because you lose
Describing life as a game where one often faces losses.
It's a show because all the world is watching you
Life is like a show where everyone is observing and judging.

Quoting someone instructing harm or destruction.
"It'll be fun," they said
Sarcastically noting the misguided belief that causing harm is enjoyable.
Now you're in Jeopardy
Referring to being in a perilous situation, possibly a metaphorical "Jeopardy."
There's no running from me
Suggesting there's no escape from the challenges or dangers.
How entertaining
Commenting on the ironic entertainment value of the situation.
If the Vice is Right

That's all the time we have tonight

What's behind curtain number three?
Reference to a game show, emphasizing the uncertainty of what lies ahead.
Tell 'em, Davey
Directing attention to someone named Davey, possibly a character.
A shiney new eternity
Describing an afterlife as a new and shiny eternity.
It's just a shame you'll never see
Expressing regret that the person won't experience the promised afterlife.
'Cause it's rigged against you
Indicating that the circumstances are unfairly manipulated against the person.
I'm just here to collect you
Stating the singer's role as a collector, possibly of souls or consequences.

For all to see
Forcing exposure and scrutiny of one's life on public platforms like TV.
On daytime TV
Connecting life's challenges to the drama often seen on daytime television.
Now you're in Jeopardy

There's no running from me
Reinforcing the idea that consequences cannot be avoided.
