Music and Lyrics by Bowie Silhouettes and shadows watch the revolution No more free steps to heaven Just walky-talky - heaven or hearth Just big heads and drums - full speed and pagan Well it's no game I am barred from the event I really don't understand the situation So where's the moral People have their fingers broken To be insulted by these fascists - it's so degrading It's no game Documentaries on refuges Couples 'gainst the target Throw the rock upon the road and It breaks into pieces Draw the blinds on yesterday And it's all so much scarier Put a bullet in my brain And it makes all the papers It's no game Children 'round the world Put camel shit on the wall Making carpets on treadmills Or garbage sorting And it's no game CREDITS: David Bowie: vocals + keyboards Dennis Davis: percussion George Murray: bass Carlos Alomar: guitars Chuck Hammer: guitar on Ashes to Ashes + Teenage Wildlife Robert Fripp: guitar on Fashion + It's no game + Scary Monsters + + Kingdom Come + Up the Hill Backwards + + Teenage Wildlife Roy Bittan: piano on Teenage Wildlife + Ashes to Ashes + Up the Hill Backwards Andy Clark: syntheziser on Fashion + Scream Like a Baby + + Ashes to Ashes + Because You're Young Pete Townshend: guitar on Because You're Young Tony Visconti: acoustic guitar on Scary Monsters + + Up the Hills Backwards Lynn Maitland, Chris Porter, Tony Visconti, David Bowie: vocal backing Michi Hirota: voice on It's No Game (No.1) Hisahi Miura: Japanese translation of It's No Game Natasha Kornilof: clown costume Richard Sharah: make-up Cover concept: Bowie|Duffy Cover by: Edward Bell Recorded: Power Station, New York by David Bowie and Tony Visconti Assistants Power Station: Lany Alexander + Jeff Hendrickson
