From the Album "Take this Moment..."
by Will West & The Friendly Strangers

Track 10. Wicked Games
Lyrics by Will West

Should I believe all the things you say to me?
Should I look away when things don’t go my way?
From all of your wicked games.

Now I can’t believe all the things you’re doing now.
I shouldn’t be afraid when things don’t go my way.
All of these wicked games.

This story has been told, so many times before.
A major event, our emotions unfold.
We’re taking a ride on this emotional tide.
Goodbye to our freedoms, our rights and our lives.
Can you imagine how it’d be?
What if we decided to break free?

Should I believe all the things you say to me?
Should I look away when things don’t go my way?
From all of your wicked games.

We can’t believe all the things they do…
We shouldn’t look away when things don’t go our way.
From  all of these wicked games.

Now I understand, nothing stays the same for long.
All these devious plans, they’re showing the world what’s right from wrong.
Pulling the strings, making us dance. A dangerous game these controlling hands.
Can you imagine how it’d be?   Yeah
What if we decided to break free?

We run and jump and love and dance now……..

Should I believe all the things you say to me?
Should I run away when things don’t go my way?
From all of your wicked games.

Now I can’t believe all the things you’re doing now.
I shouldn’t be afraid when things don’t go my way.
All of these wicked games.

Once again,
This story has been told, so many times before.
A major event, our emotions unfold.
We’re taking a ride on this emotional tide.
Goodbye to our freedoms, our rights and our lives.
Can you imagine how it’d be?  Yeah!
What if we decided to break free?

We’ll run and jump and love again……

What if we decided to break free ?

Performed in the Key of C ~ with a C harmonica.
