Society’s rules
You just gotta accept
That someone ushered in
While the rest of us slept
You gotta stand in line
You gotta keep in step
You gotta hold your tongue
Keep your words in check
You gotta play their game
In everything you do
But sometimes
You gotta break the rules
Before the rules break you
Society’s rules
You have to obey
You gotta toe the line
And be sure not to stray
You gotta simply agree
With whatever they say
Just nod your head
And then be on your way
You gotta live your life
The way they want you to
But sometimes
You gotta break the rules
Before the rules break you
