Static 
A brain full of static and screaming chaos 
A life standing still in the rain 
Still praying for the payoff 

You're right, you're so fucking right 
But still you just don't quite fit 
You're good, you're so fucking good 
We really hope you enjoy it 
When you're left to eat shit 

Live by the law 
Die by the law 
Fuck the law 
D'you even know what her name was? 

Play by the rules 
Bend the rules 
Fuck the rules 
Don't understand what they stand for 

Always the surrogate, never the prize 
There was never a reason but always a rhyme 
Voices always speaking but nothing ever being said 
Listen out for bed springs creaking 
Nails in the coffin of hope so fleeting 
Just a matter of time till you're out 
Out of control and out of your fucking head 

Live by the law 
Die by the law 
Fuck the law 
D'you even know what her name was? 

Play by the rules 
Bend the rules 
Fuck the rules 
Don't understand what they stand for 

Wasn't it all 
A great big waste 
Weren't we all 
So young and in so much haste 
I know you were 
Just taking to time to be yourself 
But living in fool's heaven 
You've sent another fool to hell 

Live by the law 
Die by the law 
Fuck the law 
D'you even know what her name was? 

Play by the rules 
Bend the rules 
Fuck the rules 
Don't understand what they stand for
