Rules of Play
by Rise Against

Album: Nowhere Generation

Verse 1
Now, sister, I have come to clear my name
Or at least try to
Is there something to free me from this pain?
Oh, what did I do now?

Pre-Chorus
Following so many rules
Making so many mistakes
It keeps getting away from me

Chorus
Because this life is a game I don't know how to play
So many lies and disguises, I can't tell what's fake
But I can tell by the same sad look on your face
You and me, we are the same

Verse 2
Like stepping into traffic with a hand over my eyes
Feeling helpless to the tide
I try to run, but it's the same thing every time
We fight this war from different sides

Pre-Chorus
But we never knew the rules
Bend, follow, or to break
Lost in this place

Chorus
Because this life is a game I don't know how to play
So many lies and disguises, I can't tell what's fake
But I can tell by the same sad look on your face
You and me, we are the same, whoa-ooh-whoa

Bridge
Under my breath
I've said your name a thousand times
I'd save your life if you'd save mine
I feel your pain, do you feel mine?
Because this life is a game I don't know how to play

Chorus
Because this life is a game I don't know how to play
So many lies and disguises, I can't tell what's fake
But I can tell by the same sad look on your face
You and me, we are the same

Outro
Yeah, this life is a game that I don't know how to play
Oh, this life is a game that I don't know how to play
I don't know how to play, I don't know how to play
