Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song in 1999 after a personal comeback in my own life. I realized you know there is always going to be some sh*t mixed in with the good parts of life. And self destruction is not the answer to life not being fair.
Song Description
This song annonces the fact of the good and the bad coexisting to present life. It presents circumstances that we all live around today regardless of class, creed or time. I am using this song in a scene of a One Man Show I wrote where i am transitioning

Lyrics
Hook 2 xs
Realities of life and love
Nothing changes but the player?s
Come on in see what you?re made of
In the game of life and love
Lead
Jessie was a good girl
Always made good grades
College bound prom queen
That no one really sees
She had a little secret
She used to fill the void
Now she?s only popular
With all the drug boys
Hook 2 xs
Realities of life and love
Nothing changes but the players
Come on in see what you made of
In the game of life and love
Lead
Terry had a good wife
Her heart was made of gold
She couldn?t understand it
When Terry turned cold
Beat her all too frequent
She felt the wrath of her man
Judge set him free and she?s 6 feet deep
No one will understand
Hook 2 xs
Realities of life and love
Nothing changes but the player?s
Come on in see what you made of
In the game of life and love
Lead
Michael had a passion
He loved kids oh so much
4 of his own and a wife at home
But Michael liked to touch
Sunday school teacher
Secret games at home
People wondered why his wife would never
Leave the girls alone
Hook 2xs
Realities of life and love
Nothing changes but the player?s
Come on in see what you made of
In the game of life and love
Lead
Peter was the soft type
Never claimed to be tuff
Always knew what he wanted to do
Never even cussed
He knew what Mom?s expected
One day he?d make the world change
One drive by one summer night
Peter?s in an early grave
Hook 2xs
Realities of life and love
Nothing changes but the player?s
Come on in see what you made of
In the game of life and love
