Rules of the Game Lyrics

Day In Day Out | I'm Better Than You | Sick & Sad | As The Footsteps Die Out Forever | This One Goes Out To... | Shoebox in My Closet | Supernothing

Thanks to Casey for "Shoebox..." and "Better Than You"

DAY IN DAY OUT I don't want to barge in on your secrey see dependency see it means nothing to me I don't want to hear about your problems and I don't want to listen to your apathy see You're not like me see You mean nothing to me All your cash doesn't make you any greener. (chorus) I don't need anyone to tell me what to feel. I don't need anyone to hate the world with me. Day in, day out It's not that bad. I worry and I worry but you'll never have to worry again, you'll never be alone. In my room with a bucket full of phlegm I don't need a music scene to tell me who I am I should have got a warning should have came a year ago should I sent her a birthday card? My conscience tells me no.


I'M BETTER THAN YOU i dont need no stupid reasons to go around always treating everyone with impunity/ im better than you/ im better than you think take it easy im better off this way i dont ever get to feeling for you cant you see that i dont give a shit about you/im better than you/im better than you think

SICK AND SAD Went to the corner of second and main and there was someone there who mentioned that they hoped that it would rain forever, forever, so they could drown in peace. Went down to the hodskin p.l. but there was nobody to answer when I rang the doorbell forever, forever so now I'm sad all the time. Sick and sad again. Sometimes I'd like the rain to end. Sick and sad again. Sometimes I'd like to stand on my own two feet. Today was the day but she threw it all away and I could never understand 'cause she was never one to play by the rules of the game her and me we're so the same I try so hard and I never give in and I am never satisifed until the day that I win agaisnt them but I don't care I'll follow her to anywhere.


AS THE FOOTSTEPS DIE OUT FOREVER She was diagnosed on a Friday, the kids were almost home, the kids were on their way back home from school, lying face down in the gutter of unaccomplished dreams and broken memories of things to come, "Sorry ma'am, I really am. I had to break the news. I had to make the phone call to tell you that you're due, you know where, I'll tell you when, and I suggest you start living these next three weeks, the best way that you can." Every night for three long weeks, she'd roam the hallways half asleep and as the footsteps fade away in my mind, I could swear, I could swear, I heard her say: Don't wait for me, I've got a lot to do I've got a lot to be and in the end maybe I'll see you there. Lost her strength on a saturday. Spent the day in bed. Yeah, I'm fine, it's just the flu she said with a smile, but when they turned their backs, the tears would flow. She knew she only had a while to live to breathe to see to be to bleed to stand on her own two weakened feet "and so I pray everyday: don't take my mother away" and in the end maybe i'll see you there. You know i'll see you there and in the end i'll see you there.

THIS ONE GOES OUT TO... Staring out the window of somebody's pickup truck well I never mind the boredom cause I use it for a crutch just to get me to that plae its a different state of sane and everytime I try to change I always end up quite the same thinking back to happier days when everyone was ignorant and all the kids behaved but me and my friends and the ice cream man that was our existance that was our clan this one goes out to the friends I never had: hey I don't understand but I'd like to anyway hey I don't understand but I like it anyway hey I don't understand but I like you anyway hey I don't understand Shelter in the city we decided to go in and I gave a man some money to buy herion but the homeless man returned and he gave me back a dime he said, "put it in your sock my friend and save it for another time" but: lessons are learned and later unlearned if he knew then what he knows now well he could rule the world but I'm not one to judge what happened yesterday cause I got me I got myself my future is at stake this one goes out to...

SHOEBOX IN MY CLOSET here i am alone again the box in my closet is my only friend but i never let that bother me because i got myself and i set myself free im alone when im with everybody else like a book i've read about a million times well i know what i will read and i know what i will find no need to go on but i go on anyway and when im satisfied i ask you why'd you go away? ...hey stop it i dont want it anymore


SUPERNOTHING He wakes up sad again, wonders when the rain will end She'll act like she don't care cause to her it's just a game ...that he plays I'm a super I'm a nothing I'm a no one going nowhere going fast but I don't care All the times he said he would she never really understood what he said or what he meant he won't forget what wasn't said He'll find himself alone standing in the rain.
