By the Book
Living life tied down from day one
Learn to do how it should be done all the time
Open your eyes see the truth out there
Can't you see it go and take a proper look
Rules are there to be followed
Bow down to authority
Rules are there to be broken
Set your self free
The future we once feared is here and now
We live by the book your always on the hook
You are but a pawn in a bigger game
And each day things must be done the same
Rules are there to be followed
Bow down to authority
Rules are there to be broken
Set your self free
Rules are there to be followed
Bow down to authority
Rules are there to be broken
Set your self free
We are a tiny part of a complex machine
Never to return, never seen again
Coming out of line your rights are gone
Do things by the book that's imposed on us all
Learn to do how it should be done all the time
Open your eyes see the truth out there
Can't you see it go and take a proper look
Rules are there to be followed
Bow down to authority
Rules are there to be broken
Set your self free
The future we once feared is here and now
We live by the book your always on the hook
You are but a pawn in a bigger game
And each day things must be done the same
Rules are there to be followed
Bow down to authority
Rules are there to be broken
Set your self free
Rules are there to be followed
Bow down to authority
Rules are there to be broken
Set your self free
We are a tiny part of a complex machine
Never to return, never seen again
Coming out of line your rights are gone
Do things by the book that's imposed on us all
