Rules Lyrics by The Hoosiers

The Trick to Life

2007

[Intro]
(Sense never seemed to make sense to me)

[Verse 1]
Sense never seemed to make sense to me
And not the sense you administer repeatedly
Fled to the hills so I could clear my mind
I couldn't swallow the pills that I was prescribed

[Pre-Chorus]
People didn't always like each other, did they?
People didn't always get along

[Verse 2]
I read the news but it wasn't good
Because the bad guys won when the good guys should
Who was it that told you that the world's not flat?
Is it a reputable source, can it be taken as fact?

[Pre-Chorus]
People didn't always get along though, did they?
People didn't always like each other, did they?

[Chorus]
Ooh, you know you're never gonna get to find out anyway
The game plays us for fools
You know you're never gonna get to have the final say
You don't get to make the rules

[Verse 3]
People always looking for something they can't find
One man's fact's another's trick of the mind
People always looking for something they can't find
One man's fact's another's trick of the mind

[Pre-Chorus]
People didn't always like each other, did they?
People didn't always get along though, did they?

[Chorus]
Ooh, you know you're never gonna get to find out anyway
The game plays us for fools
You know you're never gonna get to have the final say
You don't get to make the rules
You know you're never gonna get to find out anyway
The game plays us for fools
You know you're never gonna get to have the final say
You don't get to make the rules
Rules

[Bridge]
One man falls, another takes his place
He chases the wind until the end of his days
One man falls, another takes his place
He chases the wind until the end of his days
One man falls, another takes his place
One man falls, another takes his place
One man falls, another takes

[Chorus]
Ooh, you know you're never gonna get to find out anyway
The game plays us for fools
You know you're never gonna get to have the final say
You don't get to make the rules

[Outro]
Get to make the rules
You don't get to make the rules
Get to make the rules
Rules
Get to make the rules
