BREAKING THE RULES

For Those About To Rock (We Salute You) (1981)

(Young, Young, Johnson)

 

Black sheep and a renegade

Hot feet in the cool of the shade

Street shuffle and a tough childhoods

Examinations done no good

Crow bars and a hot wired cars

Sneak thieves 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

 

Tough breaks in the neighbourhood

A hard case who's up to no good

Living like trash, a society rash

Ready to break, and ready to dash

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

 

(Tough 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

 

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
