[Verse 1]

I couldn't follow the rules

No, I never got my letter jacket

I never learned to play it cool

And though I knew I couldn't dance

I would stand there in the door

Waiting for my first chance, whoa

[Chorus]

Who made the rules? Whoa

Who made the rules?

[Verse 2]

I couldn't follow the rules

Yeah, I coulda made a million dollars

If I'd been to private school

But I see their shadows on the wall

When I try to walk beside them

I can't see myself at all, whoa

[Chorus]

Who made the rules? Whoa

Who made the rules?

[Bridge]

Put up a wall

Round my hometown

But I'm tired of this town

The rules burn up the wall

It's coming down

It's coming down

It's coming down

It's coming down

Ha ha ha

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

Who made the rules? Whoa

Who made the rules? Whoa

Who made the rules? Whoa

Who made the rules? Whoa

Who made the rules?

[Outro]

Put up a wall

Round my hometown

Tired of this town

The rules burn up the wall

It's coming down

It's coming down

It's coming down

It's coming down

It's coming down

We'll knock it all down

We'll knock it down
