Rise Against Lyrics
"Rules Of Play"

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?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
