Lyrics
In my mind's eye architect a master plan
through my eyes I never look at circumstance
Every time I try to find a way out
i think of how I never should have held the doubt
that fate is in control of me
and that is true of history
What am I gonna do
Why do I have to choose
If I play by the rules
You know I'm gonna to lose
What am I gonna do
Why do I have to choose
If I play by the rules
You know I'm gonna to lose
Such a fool to try to play by my own rules
It's so true you play to win you're bound to lose
every time I try to make my own path
life is close behind me getting such a laugh
at my naivete in thinking
somehow I pull my own strings
