Somewhere in America '89
Unveiling the American Game of Life: 'Somewhere in America '89'
Lyrics
Just play the game and throw the dice
Embrace life's uncertainties and take risks.
You might not win but you can't lose tonight
Success is not guaranteed, but it's worth the attempt.
Just watch this fairy tale unfold
Observe as a captivating story unfolds.
You won't believe all the things you've been told
Be prepared for astonishing revelations.
Young or old
Applicable to individuals of all ages.
Somewhere in America
Referencing an unspecified location in America.
Somewhere in America tonight
The events described are happening tonight.
Another town another place
Traveling to a different city or environment.
Another name but you don't know the face
Changing surroundings, but identities remain unknown.
A joker deals and makes the rules
An unpredictable figure sets the rules.
A game of chance a game that was made for fools
Life is a gamble, especially for those easily deceived.
Like me and you
The narrator and the audience are included.
Somewhere in America
Reiterating the unspecified American location.
Somewhere in America tonight
Emphasizing that events are currently unfolding.
Tonight
Highlighting the immediacy of the situation.
Don't wave a flag unless it's white
A call for peace, avoiding unnecessary conflicts.
Don't make a noise unless you're prepared to fight
Advice to only speak out when ready for consequences.
Wrong or right
Morality is subjective; decide what feels right.
Somewhere in America
Repetition of the location with no specific details.
Somewhere in America tonight
Reiterating the ongoing events in the specified place.
Somewhere in America
Continuation of the reference to America.
Somewhere in America tonight
Underlining that the events are occurring tonight.
