RULES
LYRICS AMD MUSIC BY ANDREW JAY MAGNUSON

PLEASE TELL ME WHY
THESE RULES SHOULD APPLY
AND IT’S UP TO YOU WHAT I CAN DO
WITHOUT BEING OVERSTATED
I’M FEELING FRUSTRATED
EVERYDAY YOU MAKE UP SOMETHING NEW
I THOUGHT OPEN SOCIETY
MEANT I COULD HAVE VARIETY
NOW YOU TELL ME I GOT IT ALL WRONG
FREEDOM IS JUST A WORD
USED TO KEEP US IN A HERD
I THINK MY TIME HERE WON’T BE LONG

RULES, RULES, RULES
SINCE I WAS IN MY TWO’S
YOU CAN TIGHTEN UP THE SCREWS
BUT I HEREBY REFUSE
TO ABIDE BY ANY MORE RULES

FIT ME WITH A LITTLE BELL
TELL ME ABOUT THE FIRES OF HELL
FEED ME SHIT AND KEEP ME IN THE DARK
I’M TOO DUMB TO UNDERSTAND
THAT’S WHY BABY – YOU DA MAN
GET MY LEASH AND TAKE ME TO THE PARK
IF I STRAY LOCK ME UP
I’LL BANG THE BARS WITH MY CUP
MAKE ENOUGH NOISE THAT YOU LET ME GO
I SWEAR ‘TIL THE DAY I DIE
YOU CAN’T LOOK ME IN THE EYE
AND TELL ME IT’S ALL ABOUT CONTROL

RULES, RULES, RULES
THAT’S ALL I GET FROM YOU
YOU CAN TIGHTEN UP THE SCREWS
BUT I HEREBY REFUSE
TO ABIDE BY ANY MORE RULES

NO! HERE COME THE SUITS
NO! NIAVE RECRUITS
WIPE MY DIRTY BOOTS I’M WALKIN’ AWAY
NO! SKY IS TURNING BROWN
NO! WORLD IS UPSIDE DOWN
GOT MY FEET ON THE GROUND AND I SAY
KISS MY ASS!

RULES, RULES, RULES
SINCE I WAS IN MY TWO’S
YOU CAN TIGHTEN UP THE SCREWS
BUT I HEREBY REFUSE
TO ABIDE BY ANY MORE RULES

RULES, RULES, RULES
THAT’S ALL I GET FROM YOU
YOU CAN TIGHTEN UP THE SCREWS
BUT I HEREBY REFUSE
TO ABIDE BY ANY MORE RULES
