The Rules Lyrics by Fast Romantics

Pick It Up

2020

[Verse 1]
I couldn't follow the rules
No, I never got my letter jacket
I never learned to play it cool
And though I knew I couldn't dance
I would stand there in the door
Waiting for my first chance, whoa

[Chorus]
Who made the rules? Whoa
Who made the rules?

[Verse 2]
I couldn't follow the rules
Yeah, I coulda made a million dollars
If I'd been to private school
But I see their shadows on the wall
When I try to walk beside them
I can't see myself at all, whoa

[Chorus]
Who made the rules? Whoa
Who made the rules?

[Bridge]
Put up a wall
Round my hometown
But I'm tired of this town
The rules burn up the wall
It's coming down
It's coming down
It's coming down
It's coming down
Ha ha ha

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Who made the rules? Whoa
Who made the rules? Whoa
Who made the rules? Whoa
Who made the rules? Whoa
Who made the rules?

[Outro]
Put up a wall
Round my hometown
Tired of this town
The rules burn up the wall
It's coming down
It's coming down
It's coming down
It's coming down
It's coming down
We'll knock it all down
We'll knock it down
