Make Shit Up

Verse 1:

Rule number one: never let them know,

Keep your cards down, keep your cover low.

Rule number two: always play it cool,

Even if you're drowning, never break the rule.

Pre-Chorus:

Oh, it’s all a game, it’s all a trick,

Bend the truth, just make it stick.

A little twist, a little turn,

The world don’t care, it’ll never learn.

Chorus:

Rule number six: make shit up,

Or at least misguide them just enough.

If you can’t win, then change the fight,

Rewrite the past, reshape the night.

Verse 2:

Rule number three: don’t look back,

What’s behind you fades to black.

Rule number four: trust no face,

Every smile hides a different place.

Pre-Chorus:

Oh, it’s all a game, it’s all a trick,

Bend the truth, just make it stick.

A little twist, a little turn,

The world don’t care, it’ll never learn.

Chorus:

Rule number six: make shit up,

Or at least misguide them just enough.

If you can’t win, then change the fight,

Rewrite the past, reshape the night.

Bridge:

Rule number five: don’t stand still,

Run the con or someone will.

Now you’re here, so play along,

Truth is dead, but the story’s strong.

Outro:

Take a breath, take a spin,

The story bends, but it don’t end.

Rule number six, just trust in me,

I’ll be your truth, your mystery.
