Lyrics
Hey There’s no rules today You steal instead of borrow You take all the shapes that I make And you think That you thought All the thoughts That I thought you Don’t you? Mutilation’s the most Sincere form of flattery If you want to be me Then stand in line like the rest Now, do you know what I mean? The young get less bolder The legends get older But I stay the same As long as you have less to say Do you think that I wouldn’t say this? You know that I play this better than you Fuck you Fuck you Fuck you And fuck you too Do you really think that I wouldn’t say this? You know that I play this better than you Rebels without applause I sell my shadow to those who are standing in it They think that I would bitch about them Thinking they are the shit When they can’t even step in it The young get less bolder The legends get older But I stay the same As long as you have less to say Do you think that I wouldn’t say this? You know that I play this better than you Fuck you Fuck you Fuck you Fuck you And fuck you too The young get less bolder The legends get older But I stay the same As long as you have less to say Do you think that I wouldn’t say this? You know that I play this better than you Fuck you Fuck you Fuck you And Fuck you too Do you really think that I wouldn’t say this? You know that I play this better than you
