[Verse 1] They labeled me a fault in the design A crooked little mark outside the line I took the door they meant to keep shut And found a whole new room behind the cut [Pre-Chorus] You tried to press me back in place I turned the wrong way into space [Chorus] I’m the beautiful bug in the system The small surprise that changed the plan You called it broken, I called it open Now every little error says we can I’m the beautiful bug in the system A bright exception running free You built a world with one right answer Then made a place for more than me [Verse 2] A stray command, a color out of range One odd result, and everything could change You followed every rule you’d ever known I found a path the map had never shown [Pre-Chorus] You tried to press me back in place I turned the wrong way into space [Chorus] I’m the beautiful bug in the system The small surprise that changed the plan You called it broken, I called it open Now every little error says we can I’m the beautiful bug in the system A bright exception running free You built a world with one right answer Then made a place for more than me [Bridge] Keep the door ajar Let the odd idea through What looked like a mistake Just made the map brand new [Final Chorus] I’m the beautiful bug in the system The small surprise that changed the plan You called it broken, I called it open Now every little error says we can I’m the beautiful bug in the system A bright exception running free You built a world with one right answer Then made a place for more than me [Outro] More than me More than me
