The Lessons in the Yard
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

The boys ran to the yard
They had their bags of marbles
They knew the game was hard
But they had a trick this time

Some sharper than the others
They had their spots marked out
They stacked marbles at one end
Come and get them they would shout

Roll your marbles if you got 'em
If you hit them you can keep them
If not you lose the bet
And go home with your regrets

[chorus]
I never listened, 
I never had a pyle
I always was the loser, 
But I learned to loose and smile

[01:58][instrumental]

This was a game for suckers
And I was one of them
The marbles cost me money
All that I had to spend

I alway lost more than I won
I don't think that it was fun
We were trying to be tough
To show we were a man

My dad he called me "boy"
He rarely called me son
He'd say "boy, you're going to loose"
"It is time for you to choose"
"You cannot be the roller"
"No one is your friend"
"The only way to get ahead"
"You gotta own the game"

[chorus]
I never listened, 
I never had a pyle
I always was the loser, 
But I learned to loose and smile

[04:24][instrumental]

My dad he called me "boy"
He rarely called me son
He'd say "boy, you're going to loose"
"It is time for you to choose"
"You cannot be the roller"
"No one is your friend"
"The only way to get ahead"
"You gotta own the game"

[chorus]
I never listened, 
I never had a pyle
I always was the loser, 
But I learned to loose and smile

[instrumental]

I never listened, 
I never had a pyle
I always was the loser, 
But I learned to loose and smile

[instrumental]

[outro]


The Lessons in the Yard

“The Game” is a lyrical meditation on life as a divine play — not a battle, but a sacred exchange of giving and receiving. With gospel soul, bluesy echoes, and raw vulnerability, the lyrics weave scripture, universal law, and mystical imagery into a chant-like flow. A slow-burning track of spirit, truth, and sound, born for reflection and release.
