"Rules Of Play" lyrics - RISE AGAINST

RISE AGAINST
"Rules Of Play"
(Rise Against / Tim McIlrath)

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, you and me are the same

Like stepping into traffic with a hand over my eyes
Feeling helpless to the tide
I try to run, but its 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, you and me 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?

[Chorus:]
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, you and me 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
