Represent Lyrics by Weezer

2010

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
I'm sick and tired of everybody trying to tell me what to do
If I'm in need of your advice, then surely I would come to you
I didn't get in this position just by happenstance
I worked my bones beyond the limit just to have half a chance

[Chorus]
It matters how you play the game
It matters that you can take the pain
You don't want to lie, steal, or cheat your way
To the top, ohh-ohh-ohhhhh
It matters what your people think
You represent your family
Well that's just one more reason to see
That it matters whether you win or lose

[Verse 2]
Why don't we see who is the wizard and play some one on one
I think you'll find me sympathetic to ya when I've won
It seems you've got the brawn to beat me if this was all it takes
But I've got skills to pay the bills and punish each of your mistakes

[Chorus]
It matters how you play the game
It matters that you can take the pain
You don't want to lie, steal, or cheat your way
To the top, ohh-ohh-ohhhhh
It matters what your people think
You represent your family
Well that's just one more reason to see
That it matters whether you win or lose

[Bridge]
One hundred years from now, they'll look back on this day
Where are you going to be, and what are they going to say
I see my name in lights, the people call my name
It's all up to you, will you find a way?

[Chorus]
It matters how you play the game
It matters that you can take the pain
You don't want to lie, steal, or cheat your way
To the top, ohh-ohh-ohhhhh
It matters what your people think
You represent your family
Well that's just one more reason to see
That it matters whether you win or lose
It matters what your mother thinks
You represent your family
Well that's just one more reason to see
That it matters whether you win or lose
