Exception to the Rule - Better Oblivion Community Center, Phoebe Bridgers, Conor Oberst

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

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?

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

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?

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

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
