I get violent when i'm fucked up

I get silent when i'm drugged up

Want excitement, don't get none, i go wild

I don't know what can be done about it

If you play the game you get nothing out of it

Find out for yourself try bein' a goody goody

You better cheat, cheat

No reason to play fair

Cheat cheat or don't get anywhere

Cheat cheat if you can't win

Nobody knows what they are doing

It's beyond your control, an' friday night's a ruin

If you wanna survive you better learn how to lie

Don't use the rules

They're not for you, they're for the fools

And you're a fool if you don't know that

So use the rule you stupid fool
