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
|
