lyrics

Bend the rules
Up to the point of breaking
See a chance, you’ll take it
And you’ll win

But I saw the news
You caused another accident
I don’t know how this keeps on happening
But it does

But you can’t keep living your life like you’re the only one that matters
Think about what it does to your friends
Scratching out the words in the rulebook until you leave it lying in tatters
Funny face, I know how the episode ends

A rainy afternoon
Another painting vandalized
A church fete you left scandalized
But you’re fine

The stunt you pulled on the roof
It could have ended tragically
You float through life so magically
Until you don’t

But you can’t keep living your life like you’re the only one that matters
Think about what it does to your friends
Scratching out the words in the rulebook until you leave it lying in tatters
Funny face, I know how the episode ends

But you can’t keep living your life like you’re the only one that matters
Think about what it does to your friends
Scratching out the words in the rulebook until you leave it lying in tatters
Funny face, I know
You never stick around until the credits roll
Funny face, I know how the episode ends
