It starts very early once the baby toys are gone a kid on the playground has to chose What side he's on it's the bullies or the good guys Boy there aint no middle ground Though hoodlums try to blur the line and twist the truth around Then they call themselves a winner but they're self deceiving fools Cause the game aint worth winning if you're breaking all the rules
The law is laid upon us when as kids we first ask why Our parents set the rules when cause I said so they reply And though I thought I hated them and screamed with all my might The next time that I had a choice gee whiz I did what's right Though I never snuck a drink I never stole a pack of cools Cause the game aint worth winning if you're breaking all the rules
Don't break the rules Or else we're livin in the wild wild west Don't break the rules Gods keeping score you don't want to fail that test Don't break the rules You thumb your nose right at the light for which I strive But those rules those laws keep us alive
Well it started back with Moses when he led around the Jews And climed way up that mountain to pick up Gods daily news He schlepped up Mt. Sinai I cried And begged on their behalf He almost dropped those tablets when he saw that golden calf Now we teach the ten commandments Every Sunday in our schools Cause the game aint worth winning if your breaking all the rules
I guess the constitution boys to sum is too complex They think our founding fathers fought so they can forge some checks They see themselves as robin hood stealing from the rich Paying back the things they take well payback is a b**ch Cause the world aint Sherwood Forest You can't give away those jewels And the game aint worth winning if your breaking all the rules
Don't break the rules don't break the rules Or else we're livin in the wild wild west Don't break the rules Gods keeping score you don't want to fail that test Don't break the rules You thumb your nose right at the light for which I strive But those rules those laws keep us alive
When you steal somebody's money Screw his daughter or his wife You don't think of repercussions As you tap dance through your life Though you smile like you're a hero Your an outlet through and through But the odds are in my favor man And one day I'll catch you So don't sneak into a movie Or the red light to sell some pot It's all the same to me You're either guilty or you're not You're the only one we wanted If every time we failed the earth The world would be total chaos It's already on the verge Yes its laws that keep us human Cause without them winners lose And the game aint worth winning The game aint worth winning The game aint worth winning If we're breaking all the rules
Don't break the rules or else we're livin in the wild wild west Don't break the rules Gods keeping score you don't want to fail that test Don't break the rules you thumb your nose right at the light for which I strive but those rules those laws those rules those laws those rules those laws keep us alive
