Lyrics
0:11It starts very early
0:13Once the baby toys are gone
0:16A kid on the playground
0:18Has to choose what side he's on
0:20It's the bullies or the good guys
0:22Boy there ain't no middle ground
0:25Though hoodlums try to blur the line
0:27And twist the truth around
0:29Then they call themselves a winner
0:32But they're self-deceiving fools
0:34'Cause the game ain't worth winning
0:36If you're breaking all the rules
0:39The law is laid upon us
0:41When as kids we first ask "Why "
0:43Our parents set the rules when
0:45"'Cause I said so " they reply
0:48And through I thought I hated them
0:50And screamed with all my might
0:52The next time that I had a choice
0:55Gee whiz I did what's right
0:57You know I never snuck a drink
0:59I never stole a pack of “Kools”
1:01'Cause the game ain't worth winning
1:03If you're breaking all the rules
1:06Don't break the rules
1:07Or else we're living
1:08In the wild wild west
1:10Don't break the rules
1:11God's keeping score
1:12And you don't wanna fail that test
1:14Don't break the rules
1:16You thumb your nose
1:17Right at the life for which I strive
1:19But those rules
1:21Those laws keep us alive
1:24Well it started back with Moses
1:26When he led around the Jews
1:28The Jews
1:29And climbed way up that mountain
1:31To pick up God's daily news
1:33Tell me the news
1:34He schlepped up old Mt Sinai
1:36Cried and begged on their behalf
1:37Oh lord
1:38He almost dropped those tablets
1:40When he saw that golden calf
1:42What
1:42Now we teach the Ten Commandments
1:45Every Sunday in our schools
1:47'Cause the game ain't worth winning
1:49If you're breaking all the rules
1:52I guess he Constitution boys
1:54To some is too complex
1:56We're thinkin'
1:56They think our founding fathers fought so
1:59They could forge some checks
2:00And now it's lookin'
2:01They see themselves as Robin Hood
2:03Just stealing from the rich
2:05And doncha' know they're
2:06Not paying back the things they take
2:08Well pay back is a bitch
2:09Pow
2:10'Cause the world ain't Sherwood Forest
2:12You can't give away those jewels
2:14'And the game ain't worth winning
2:17If you're breaking all the rules
2:19Don't break the rules
2:20Or else we're living in the wild wild west
2:23Don't break the rules
2:24God's keeping score
2:26And you don't wanna fail that test
2:28Don't break the rules
2:29You thumb your nose
2:30Right at the life for which I strive
2:33But those rules those laws keep us alive
2:36Us alive
2:37When you steal somebody's money
2:40Screw his daughter or his wife
2:42Wop
2:42You don't think of repercussions
2:44As your tap dance through your life
2:46Bop
2:46Though you smile like you're a hero
2:49You're an outlaw through and through
2:51But the odds are in my favor man
2:53And one day I'll catch you
2:55So go sneak into a movie
2:57Run a red light sell some pot
3:00Doo-wop doo-wop
3:00It's all the same to me
3:02You're either guilty or your not
3:04Doo-wop doo-wop wow
3:05If we all did what we wanted
3:07Every time we felt the urge
3:09The world would be in total chaos
3:12It's already on the verge
3:13Bop
3:14Yes it's laws that keep us human
3:16'Cause without them we're just mules
3:18And The game ain't worth winning
3:20The game ain't worth winning
3:23The game ain't worth winning
3:25If you're breaking all the rules
3:27Don't break the rules
3:28Or else we're living in the wild wild west
3:32Don't break the rules
3:33God's keeping score
3:34And you don't wanna fail that test
3:37Don't break the rules
