Loud, hard rock in the style of Skid Row and metal.
The Nerp Flerps are a concept based on the human reality, strong on the interpersonal, low on scapegoats.
Story behind the song
It's just a contemporary take on what life has become for people in general. Those who follow the leader will probably interpret this song as a grunge or cynical critique of life. And that's okay. But there are others who are free thinkers and rationalize their journey through life in a different way. The gist of the song is really, enjoy your life but don't expect and freebees.
Lyrics
THE GAME OF LIFE
Who said life’s a party, huh?
You’ve got a lot to learn, so listen up!
You come alive around the age of ten
But before that time it’s been all pretend
Now it’s all upon you
No one comes to your rescue
You hit the streets but it’s not like home
You find you’re unprepared and feel you’re all alone
You make the wrong decisions
You learn from those collisions
Hope and truth and sunny dreams
All a pack of lies, nothing’s as it seems
Stay away from those who preach
There’s no compassion from a catholic priest
You may get more respect from your enemies
Than you’ll ever get from your family
Some say love is all you need
It makes you strong until it makes you bleed
When you taste the bitter you’ll want to reconsider
All it takes is one good break
To get ahead of the line
But you gotta take it from there. BOY you’re almost there!
If you make just one mistake
Back to the end of the line
But now you’re out of time. Oh it’s so unfair! (Repeat Chorus)
Control yourself no matter what you do
But be prepared they’re coming after you
Because the competition is really a war of attrition
You may survive to fight another day
But if you choose to run they shoot you anyway
It’s a game of life and death
In this game of life everyone dies
And it is so unfair!
Yes, but I don’t care!
I’m just having fun!
