Rule of Thumb

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Follow this rule of thumb Enough, your acid tongue The kingdom of fame you won Is only for a day So accept what you've become One part of a greater sum The kingdom of fame you won Is only for a day [Pre-Chorus] But you're chained to A platter of lies that connect you And I see through The network of friends that protect you So remember this [Chorus] You can't see much Facing the sun Can't see much Turning to run [Verse 2] So parade your new disguise And bury your rapid rise The hostilities begun And set you on your way [Pre-Chorus] To impress you A history of sadness and drug use But the sad truth A privileged past that upsets you So remember this Remember this [Chorus] You can't see much Facing the sun Can't see much Turning to run You can't see much (Ooh, la-la-la, ooh, la-la-la) Facing the sun (Ooh, la-la-la, ooh, la-la-la) Can't see much (Ooh, la-la-la, ooh, la-la-la) Turning to run (Ooh, la-la-la, ooh, la-la-la) [Outro] Facing the sun (Facing the sun) Turning to run (Turning to run) Facing the sun (Facing the sun) Turning to run (Turning to run) Ooh, la-la-la, ooh, la-la-la Ooh, la-la-la, ooh, la-la-la Ooh, la-la-la, ooh, la-la-la
