No matter what I say
Or how I try
I can't
Redeem myself
Strip clean
Pick up the pieces
And start
Over again
Who made the rules
Who decides
When I've made up
Paid up
Ten months this time
Twelve before
Few others
Could take much more
No matter what I say
Or how I try
I can't
Redeem myself
Strip clean
Pick up the pieces
And start
Over again
Who made the rules
Who decides
When I've made up
Paid up
Ten months this time
Twelve before
Few others
Could take much more
Do it right
But how can I
When I'm not even given the chance
To correct
The mistakes
Already made?
It's so hard to live up to standards
When you don't even know what they are
How can you
Expect me
To change?
Who made the rules
Who decides
When I've made up
Paid up
Ten months this time
Twelve before
Few others could take much more
Who made the rules
Who decides
When I've made up
Paid up
Ten months this time
Twelve before
Few others
Could take much more
