(Chorus) If we went by the old rules, no more of this bullshit, We’ed be done playing games, No more takin' the hit, Nobody said the old rules, they were whispered in the dark, But if you stumbled, you would fall, but you’d have a new spark! (Chorus) If we went by the old rules, there would be no doubt, Never have to surrender, we'd never go without, Frantically crawling, muted our shouts, Going under the radar, making no sound, Taxing people, just to make a dime, Never would happen, to me and mine, Plain to me how we all seem fine, Opposite is true, following the signs, Taken for granted all of these comforts, But if we demanded, we wouldn't have to suffer, Moving away, severing each other, Cheating death, to stay ahead of our mother, Digging and sweating, never looking up, Pretending that we are all getting enough, Manipulating, all of us that stand up, Just to remind you, you're fucked! ....... Retaliating is or only hopefulness, Government, constantly oversteps, Freeze that moment, of insubordinance, Teach a lesson to all the extortionists, (Chorus) If we went by the old rules, little could go wrong, Few would disagree, we wouldn't need this song, Police brutality we've known so long, They'd be righteous, unless called upon, Drawing in those, with disrespect, All the thieving punks, would get wrecked, Any sick chomos, wouldn't mix in the mess, Mass anounts punished, freedom to the rest, Leadership, would come from within, Honor, would be earned by men, When could we begin, I wish we could go back, to the OLD RULES AGAIN! Simple common sense, would rise to the top, Everyday would be, won if we fought, Economic hardship rates would drop, Politically correct crap would stop! .......... Retaliating is or only hopefulness, Government, constantly oversteps, Freeze that moment, of insubordinance, Teach a lesson to all the extortionists, (Chorus )
