Rules Don’t Apply Lyrics by Emerald Park

Basement Sessions

2019

Buy a car
Keep it clean
As consolation
Dinner time
Pour the wine
Live your illusion
When it’s Friday night
You turn off the light
Pretend you’re someone else
But you’re not

Go to school
Keep it cool
Playing that old game
Get a job
Do your time
As you’re supposed to
Then the weekend arrives
You spend your life
As someone else
But you're not
No you’re not…

It’s not the same kind of life you live there
Rules don’t apply

User name
Entеr game
Leaving the rеal world
Microphone
Camera on
Someone to talk to
And you play with words
You play with fire
But you're still the same
(Yes, you are)...

It’s not the same kind of life you live there
Rules don’t apply
