Sing with the chorus

  • I got new rules, I count 'em
  • I got new rules, I count 'em
  • I gotta tell them to myself
  • I got new rules, I count 'em

Sing the opening verse

  • One, one, one, one, one
  • Talkin' in my sleep at night, makin' myself crazy
  • (Out of my mind, out of my mind)
  • Wrote it down and read it out, hopin' it would save me
