fuck the rules

fuck the rules
we don't need 'em
handed us a book
said it'd give us vision
but i thought it a waste
kinda stupid
trying to get us to write
and act all clueless
but these people dont seem
to really be free
they live amongst rules
can't you see
they're conformist and cheap
and don't live large
stack 'em on the heap
of people to discharge
we're not interested in being like you
get that through your head
although we might not mind meeting you
within our own bed
thats about as far as it goes
we're not really a fan
get out of our way
get out our way man
we're not down with this
the books a cage
and you're a fool
and this life's a stage.
i'm tired of bars
keeping us all locked
the meanings understood
and the communication's not lost
but the points gone
and children tied up in ropes
will never see the light of day
despite their hopes
we're kept from scribing
our thoughts down on paper
its a form of censure
and imagination erasure
no joy profs
sitting in a board room
come up with stuff
to reinforce children's gloom
