[Intro]
Do you know how to play this game
(By the rules)

[Refrain]
Do you take us for fools
(Shame… that’s lame)

[Bridge]
Do you know how to play this game
(By the rules)
If it’s you above all
(Ya know you’re gonna fall)
Do you know how to play this game
(By the rules)

[Refrain]
Do you take us for fools
(Shame… that’s lame)
Now first is last
(And last is first)

[Bridge]
We ride (on the flip-side)
Do you know how to play this game
(By the rules)
If it’s you above love
(You’ve cast the fate of hate)
Learn how to play this game
(By the rules)

[Outro]
We’re nobody’s fools
(Play by the rules)
Or you choose to lose
(Step up your game)
No one else to blame
(Forget fortune n’ fame)
Play the game

If we lose our strengths

To what lengths….

And, change destiny
(Do you know?)
To what lengths….

ABOUT THE SONG: Monthly Native moon names associated with strength
Including the Buck Moon, Wolf Moon, Strong Sun Moon, and moons connected with bears. It’s important to remember that moon names vary among different Native American tribes, each with its own unique interpretations.

• Buck Moon: The July full moon is named for the time of year when male deer (bucks) begin growing new antlers. Antlers represent strength and virility as they signify the male deer’s power during the peak of summer.
• Wolf Moon: The January full moon is named for the wolf packs that howl during the cold winter nights, representing tenacity and strength. While historically associated with hunger, wolves actually howl to reinforce social bonds and mark their territory.
• Strong Sun Moon: According to some Medicine Wheel traditions, this is a moon of rapid growth and trust that occurs around the summer solstice. It is associated with a strong connection to the heart and the ability to work from that center, which develops courage and power.
• Bear Moon: Several tribes associate moons with bears, typically around January or February, the time when bear cubs are born. The bear is a symbol of strength and introspection in many Native cultures. For the Miami people, the “Black Bear Moon” (December/February) is named for the mother bears giving birth, which signifies vitality and power.
• Thunder Moon: Another name for the July full moon is the Thunder Moon, referring to the frequent thunderstorms during this period. The power and intensity of thunder are a direct link to strength.
• Hunter’s Moon: For some tribes, the October full moon signifies the time for hunting animals that are fattened up before winter. It represents the resourcefulness and survival skills necessary for the harsh winter months.

ABOUT THE SONG
“Strike up the band” means to begin playing music and can also be used more broadly to mean to start something with enthusiasm. In a literal sense, it is an instruction to a band to start playing, but it is also used metaphorically. In this case, it is both.

ABOUT THE SONG
The new release of the day, “Hold On,” is a soaring rock anthem built for the big stage — the kind of song that echoes through an arena and stays with you long after the final note. Featuring rich analog instrumentation, it’s both a throwback to classic rock power and a forward-looking message of resilience.

“Hold On” is about faith — not in institutions or fate — but in yourself. It’s a rallying cry for anyone feeling swept away by the chaos and speed of modern life, a reminder to stay grounded, stay human, and keep moving toward the light.
