Cover art for Game Of Pricks lyrics by Guided by Voices

okay - in the hunting accidents book bob says this song is about people who are deceptive. not knowing if what people are telling you is true or a lie. it "pricks away at you." "It had to do with dealing with people who i didnt think were being straight-up with me, and that's . . . that's the game of pricks. turns out i was totally paranoid - its not as bad as i thought it was." and so on. buy the book, man - it is terrific.
