You're trapped in an alley with blackguards around you
And high-rank officials have schemed to confound you
Don't cry over milk that's already been spilt
just play it to the hilt
yes, play it to the hilt.
Your corporate scheme to gain fortune and wealth
Was crashed by a raider who worked it in stealth
It took many days for old Rome to be built
so play it to the hilt
yes, play it to the hilt.
Your budget for gaming has grown ever shorter
The pinball machine drinks down your last quarter
And the bells and the whistles all light up TILT!
so play it to the hilt
yes, play it to the hilt!
