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
