Play the Game
Yuppies Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Open up your mind and let me step inside
Rest your weary head and let your heart decide
It's so easy when you know the rules
It's so easy
All you have to do is fall in love

Play the game, everybody play the game
Of love

When your feeling down and your resistance is low
Light another cigarette and let yourself go
This is your life, don't play hard to get
It's a free world
All you have to do is fall in love

Play the game everybody play the game of love
My game of love has just begun
Love runs from my head down to my toes
My love is pumping trough my veins
Driving me insane

Play the game
Everybody play the game of love
This is your life, don't play hard to get
It's a free world
All you have to do is fall in love
Play the game of love
This is your life, don't play hard to get




It's a free, free world
All you have to do is fall in love

I haven't watched the whole series yet, but I can understand why the company hired this guy. He's 'scared' for a moment, and moves on the next second. Dudes so chill whenever he finds blood or corpses. He didn't even have a problem leaving that other dude tied to the chair behind.

The DLC expands on what'd happen if he actually gained power as well. Brian's not who he seems, it doesn't make him a bad person, but he sure as HELL isn't just some weakling guy, he may be scared, but he has drive, even greed.
I like that he's subtly more complex then he looks if you pay attention to how he actually acts and what he says.
