Rules

Don't play in the house use an inside voice
Let the adults talk and pick up your toys
Say your prayers it's time to go to church
You're gonna burn in hell if you say those words
Look both ways, clean your plate
Eat all your greens and don't stay up too late
Brush your teeth, clean your room
Learn to be polite and follow the rules

It's time to go to class, you're gonna learn what's what
Don't question the teachers cuz they don't earn enough
Make the right friends, and wear the right clothes
Always be yourself if it's the status quo
Don't run in the halls, turn work in on time
Smile and be friendly, but don't cut the line
Don't do drugs, you gotta stay in school
They'll be hell to pay if you don't follow the rules

You need to get a job and then a place in town
Find a nice girl and settle down
Have some kids, raise them right
Start saving for college and no more late nights
Work hard, drive inside the lines
Never say anything that might start a fight
It's time to stop your dreams, you're acting like a fool
Life can go as planned if you follow their rules
