[Verse 1]
The games that we play when we're drinking
Trophies and ribbons, stars for the higher scores
So long, live the cheaters and words that worked before
I know you're foolin' but you’re not foolin' anyone

[Chorus 1]
Those are the breaks like musical chairs
When you're left standing, well fair is fair
Those are the breaks, I'll call your bluff
Overexposure, enough is enough
I don't want a contest, too many pitfalls
I don't want your money, stale bread for bankrolls
As darts hit the target see the feathers fly
And bursting with feelin', piñata surprise

[Verse 2]
You can't play if you're the middle man
You can't stay unless you win again

[Chorus 2]
Those are the breaks, I'll still gonna try
And we'll toast to freedom, here's mud in your eye
And those the breaks in love lottery
I'll still buy your tickets and then we'll see
What will be, will be, will be

Blondie is an American rock band founded by singer Deborah Harry and guitarist Chris Stein. The band was a pioneer in the early American new wave and punk scenes of the mid-1970s. Their first two albums contained strong elements of these genres, and although successful in the United Kingdom and Australia, Blondie was regarded as an underground band in the United States until the release of Parallel Lines in 1978. Over the next three years, the band achieved several hit singles including “Call Me”, “Atomic” and “Heart of Glass” and became noted for its eclectic mix of musical styles incorporating elements of disco, pop, rap, and reggae, while retaining a basic style as a new wave band.
