Once upon a time 
When the world was just a pancake
Fears would arise 
That if you went too far, you'd fall

But with the 
Passage of time 
It all became more of a ball
We're as sure of that
As we all once were when the world was flat

So I wonder this
As life billows smoke inside my head
This little game 
Where nothing is sure (oh) 

Why would you play by the rules
Who did, you did, you
Who did, you did, you

When was it killed 
The very last dodo bird
And was she aware 
She was the very last one 

So I wonder this 
As life billows smoke inside my head 
This little game 
Where nothing is sure (oh) 

Why would you play by the rules
Who did, you did, you 
Who did, you did, you 
You say who did, you did, you 

If all the things that you are saying now 
Were true enough but still what is all the worrying about
We can work it out 
We can work it out 
Oh I wonder this 
As life billows smoke inside my head 
This little game 
Where nothing is sure (oh) 

Why would you play by the rules
Who did, you did, you 
Who did, you did, you 
You say who did, you did, you
