Rules and Regulations

You gotta

Go to school

Follow the rules

Do what people say

And don't make a fool of yourself

Put your brains into all your books

Pass all your exams

Leave school and go to work in a place

Where they know you by your number not your name

Stuck in a rut

And there's no one but yourself to blame

There must be more to life

There must be more than this

There must be more to life

The rules and regulations to command and obey

Rules and regulations to command and obey

Obey, obey away, hey!

You keep your mouth shut tight

Everything'll burn

When the chance comes you fall just like your mum

Said you couldn't get mad if I did

Terrific! Jah loves you!

Here a soldier pins you on your feet

To run to sue? makes you feel surprised

Though he's chained you up

And tied you down so you're housebound

There must be more to life

There must be more than this

There must be more to life

The rules and regulations to command and obey

Rules and regulations to command and obey

Obey, obey away, a hey!

Get a divorce

Use their own nails

You cry and it's off to the nearest club

Now you're left too bored to pray for hope

And nothing matters now

You want a way to use the gun

Refuse to run

And you know you can't escape

You're left on your own

To rot and decay

There must be more to life

There must be more than this

There must be more to life

The rules and regulations to command and obey

Rules and regulations to command and obey

Obey, obey away, a hey!

Rules and regulations to command and obey

Rules and regulations to command and obey

Rules and regulations to command and obey

Rules and regulations to command and obey

Rules

And regulations

To command and obey

Obey!
