The Rules

It's just a figure of speech I can't claim to know your geography But oh, I have all the clues. Shout down all the Jim Crow laws You can't have an effect if you've never had a cause It's true, and I don't know the rules. And all the time we've been talking. I've been thinking. Oh what a waste of my time, I've been going out of my mind What was I thinking coming here tonight Said a little too much, had a little too much. Knock back your Montgomery Jack And don't say to me that you wouldn't understand It's true, I'm "barely out of school". Attack and take it all back And make it all up, ignoring all the facts It's true, and I don't know the rules. And all the time we've been talking I've been thinking. Oh what a waste of my time, I've been going out of my mind What was I thinking coming here tonight Said a little too much, had a little too much. Isn't it a shame? Isn't it a shame? Isn't it a shame? Isn't it a shame? Oh what a waste of my time, I've been going out of my mind What was I thinking coming here tonight Said a little too much, had a little too much.
