Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You'll wonder, should you risk it?
A pocket full of mischief
An idiotic rain dance
Relying on a romance
[Verse 2]
Another frame beginning
Now's the time for sinning, ah-ha
Prayer has conceded
Successfully succeeded
[Verse 3]
Oh, rules and regulations
Rules and regulations
[Verse 4]
Howling at the moonshine
Barking up the wrong tree
A sacrificial slaughter
Took you from the altar
[Verse 5]
Rules and regulations
Rules and regulations
[Verse 6]
Have no fear of laughter
Wait for what comes after
[Verse 7]
Excusing no excuses
The hangman and his nooses
Busy executing
The bloody and blaspheming
[Verse 8]
Rules and regulations
Rules and regulations
[Verse 9]
The Spanish Inquisition
No one above suspicion
Crying out for reason
Might as well be treason
[Verse 10]
Rules and regulations
Rules and regulations
[Verse 11]
Have no fear of laughter
Wait for what comes after
[Verse 12]
You they're looking out for
It's you they're coming after
Innocent, not guilty
Not to this committee
