Breaking The Rules

Black sheep and a renegade
Hot feel in the cool of the shade
Street shuffle and tough childhoods
Examinations done no good
Tall bars and hot-wired cars
Speed veems and cheap cigars
No rebellion, not today
I get my kicks in my own way
Right, OK
Just keep on breaking the rules
Come on, get ready to rule
Top breaks in the neighborhood
A hard case who's up to no good
Living like trash, a society rash
Ready to brain, ready to gash
A bad deal and a real rough ride
You're doing time on the other side
No rebellion, not today
I get my kicks in my own way
Right, OK
Just keep on breaking the rules
Come on, get ready to rule
Top breaks
They got regulation ties
Regulation shoes
Those regulation fools
With their regulation rules
Just keep on breaking the rules
Come on, get ready to rule
Get ready, ready to rule
Oh take off your ties and your regulation shoes
You're nothing but a bunch of regulation fools
And you got your regulation rules
I'm going to do things my own way
Every day and every way
