Rules

You did everything you could

You had to go away from your home

I never realized when i was a kid

How alone, how alone

Yeah well back in your neighborhood

They knew you when you blew through town

Behind your back they were putting you down



They had

Rules for this

Rules for that

Rule on top of rule

Broke your back



Once upon a time i was holding your hand

A lady off the street came up

She said hey mister i need some money

You can't give enough

I'll never forget the look in your eye

As you dug into your pocket to give

That look of love gave me a reason to live



There are

Rules for this

Rules for that

If you put rule on top of rule

You can break someone's back



Break the rules



Just the other day i was breaking a rule

My whole self was ashamed

I thought the sky would open and cry

Thunder and rain

Yeah well there are many reasons

I don't feel so good

I'd forgive if i could



But i got

Rules for this

Rules for that

Rule on top of rule

To break my back



Break the rules

Break the rules
