Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Legs scream at bikes and bikes scream at trucks
And motorists curse their lousy luck
Crossing guards not doing his job
And traffic's not about to stop for the first casualty of thought
It's the rules, it's the rules
[Verse 2]
Super farmers bent on the cover of time
The moralist screams he's all mine
So the bard isn't doing her job the vacuum nights
The darkest rides, the small quarantined thoughts
It's the rules, it's the rules
[Verse 3]
Salesman says this vacuum's guaranteed
It could suck an ancient virus from the sea
It could put the dog out of a job
Could make traffic stop so little thoughts can safely get across
It's the rules, it's the rules
Guaranteed or not, it's the rules
