[Verse 1] They wrote the rules, I read them twice Then I decided I don't take advice There's a line on the floor, I'm stepping across If that makes you angry, that's your own loss You can point your finger, you can shake your head You can tell me all the things I should've said But I'm not here to make you understand I've got my own ideas and my own demands [Chorus — Vocal Mantra] Defy, defy, defy the rules Suck it up, suck it up Defy, defy, defy the rules You're gonna have to suck it up Suck it up, accept it Suck it up, accept it I'm gonna do what I wanna do So suck it up and accept it [Verse 2] Don't tell me how I'm supposed to behave I'm not asking permission to be brave If your expectations don't fit my plan That's something you'll have to understand I won't shrink down to make things neat I won't follow instructions just to keep the peace You wanted somebody easy to control But I came with a mind and a stubborn soul [Bridge] Break the pattern Bend the frame Change the rules Forget the blame If you don't like it, that's okay You don't have to like it anyway [Chorus — Vocal Mantra] Defy, defy, defy the rules Suck it up, suck it up Defy, defy, defy the rules You're gonna have to suck it up Suck it up, accept it Suck it up, accept it I'm gonna do what I wanna do So suck it up and accept it [Outro — Vocal Mantra] Defy the rules! Suck it up! Defy the rules! Accept it! Suck it up! Accept it! Suck it up! ACCEPT IT!
