## Lyrics
[verse]
Flags are waving over painted lines
Little armies playing with their signs
Every nation dressed in matching gear
Marching to a drum that no one hears

[chorus]
Games without borders, rules without a name
Everybody's playing the very same game
Children on the chessboard, moving in the dark
Nobody remembers where they made their mark

[verse]
Whistle blows and everyone salutes
Trading toy flags for a pair of boots
Somewhere in the playground of the world
Another paper banner gets unfurled

[chorus]
Games without borders, rules without a name
Everybody's playing the very same game
Children on the chessboard, moving in the dark
Nobody remembers where they made their mark

[bridge]
Watch them build the fences, watch them fall
Nobody's really winning, none at all
Still they keep on playing, round and round
Waiting for a whistle with no sound

[chorus]
Games without borders, rules without a name
Everybody's playing the very same game
Children on the chessboard, moving in the dark
Nobody remembers where they made their mark
