Lyrics

Their Rules

[Chorus]

I'm sick of following their rules

That they set for me

Sick of following their rules

They won't let me breathe

Sick of following their rules

'Cause they're not for me, not for me

I'm sick of following their rules

The last thing I'll ever do

[Verse 1]

Fighting every fucking day

They want me just to be the same

I won't end up in this cage

I'll never live my life that way

Kicking back, they won't lock me in this cage

Kicking back

[Chorus]

Because I'm sick of following their rules

That they set for me

Sick of following their rules

They won't let me breathe

Sick of following their rules

Cause they're not for me, not for me

I'm sick of following their rules

[Verse 2]

Fighting every day

Fighting every fucking day

Kicking back, they won't lock me in this cage

Kicking back, I'll never live my life that way

[Chorus: David Wood, James Vitalo & David Wood]

Because I'm sick of following their rules

Sick of following their rules

Sick of following, sick of following

The last thing I'll ever do is follow you

Backtrack, go!

[Outro: James Vitalo, James Vitalo & David Wood]

Fighting their rules, sick of following

Fighting their rules, sick of following

Fighting their rules

The last thing I'll ever do is follow you
