Better Oblivion Community Center – Exception To The Rule lyrics

[Verse 1: Conor Oberst & Phoebe Bridgers]
You need an occupation
To warrant a vacation
Without anticipation
Nothing's satisfactory
I came out here to check out
Get away from my house
Now I don't leave this couch
Or turn off the TV

[Chorus: Conor Oberst & Phoebe Bridgers]
There's always an exemption
There's always an exception to the rule
Always an exemption
There's always an exception to the rule
Why don't you want it?
Why don't you want it anymore?
Why don't you want it?
Why don't you want it anymore?

[Verse 2: Conor Oberst & Phoebe Bridgers]
I wanted to avoid it
Live out in the forest
Play out of that orbit
Go drifting out to sea
But fate just wouldn't have it
It treats us like a magnet
Mends my broken habits
And makes a fool of me

[Chorus: Conor Oberst & Phoebe Bridgers]
There's always an exemption
There's always an exception to the rule
Always an exemption
There's always an exception to the rule
Why don't you want it?
Why don't you want it anymore?
Why don't you want it?
Why don't you want it anymore?

[Bridge: Conor Oberst & Phoebe Bridgers]
Nice sentiment
Not this again
Quit tapping on my window
Won't let you in
I'm not listening
'Cause I know where that talk goes

[Chorus: Conor Oberst & Phoebe Bridgers]
And I don't want it
And I don't want it anymore
And I don't want it
And I don't want it anymore
