"Rules" lyrics

"Rules"

I've come to realize that life is but a game
And it doesn't matter how you score, but how you play
And although the masses play, the host makes all the rules

The only rules you should live by
Rules made up by you
Rules made up by you
Rules made up by you
The only rules you should live by

In this bent facade of people being who they're not who
View the world through the windshield of the beamer they just bought
And swear by hypocrisy, yeah, thinking they'll go far

Hey, mister, can you tell me
Tell me who you are?
Do you know who you are?
Do you know who you are?
Don't look, the time is now

Two for one, can you survive?
One by one, you stay alive
Do you think you really stand a chance?
Pray to God for intervention
Deities of your invention
Don't you want to know who deals the hands?

I've come to realize that life is but a game
And it doesn't matter how you score, but how you play
And although the masses play, the host makes all the rules

The only rules you should live by
Rules made up by you
The rules made up by you
Rules made up by you
The only rules you should live by
Rules made up by you
