I Broke My Own Rule by They Might Be Giants Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everything's wrecked, everything is wrecked
Smashed up, destroyed, smashed up and destroyed
I broke my rule, I broke my own rule
Now there's no rules, no rules, there's no rules anymore
This is as bad, as bad as it gets
I lost the high ground, lost the high ground
I broke my rule, I broke my own rule
I've got no one, no one else, no one else to blame

[Chorus]
What happens when, happens when the
When the freedom, freedom you want, you want to have, to have
Comes at, comes at a cost
A cost you can't, you can't afford to pay?

[Verse 2]
All is lost, all is lost, all is lost
Not a shred of, not a shred of hope
I broke my rule, I broke my own rule
Now I'm condemned to hell, now I'm condemned to hell
[Bridge]
Climb to the top of the statue of freedom from gravity
And you're at liberty to jump from the top of the absence of responsibility
And float into the emptiness

[Verse 3]
No leg on which to, on which to stand
Abandoned by every, every friend
I broke my rule, I broke my own rule
I've got no one, no one else, no one else to blame

[Chorus]
I'll lay me down, down in the dark
The dark and sad, sad, empty room, room at the end
The end of the hallway, the hall
Way at the end, way at the end of time

[Verse 4]
Everything's wrecked, everything is wrecked
Smashed up, destroyed, smashed up and destroyed
I broke my rule, I broke my own rule
Now there's no rules, no rules, there's no rules anymore

[Outro]
Now there's no rules, no rules, there's no rules anymore
Now there's no rules, no rules
There's no
Now there's
No rules, no rules
There's no rules anymore
