Life's Rules

When I was youngin' I was taught one simple thing
Be kind to everybody no matter what they'd done to me
I know that I got the message, but now it seems so lost
Love is a forgotten word, and the world don't know the cost
They say it's hard to tell who's right
They say it's hard to tell who's wrong
But I think we've all been overthinking it all along

Don't hurt nobody, and don't be rude
Don't take nothin' that doesn't belong to you
Live by this wisdom, 'cause it's the truth
And you'll be fine livin' within life's rules, yeah

I don't judge the color of the person next to me
And I always give a helping hand to anyone in need
I don't think it's complicated, just take a look at the past
Love has always conquered hate and we need to live like that

Don't hurt nobody, and don't be rude
Don't take nothin' that doesn't belong to you
Live by this wisdom, 'cause it's the truth
And you'll be fine living within life's rules

Love is my religion, love is my decree
Love is all that's ever really made much sense to me
Love for everybody, love is always free
The more love that you give, then the more you will receive

Don't hurt nobody, and don't be rude
Don't take nothin' that doesn't belong to you
Live by this wisdom, 'cause it's the truth
You'll be fine living within life's rules

Don't hurt nobody, and don't be rude
Don't take nothin' that doesn't belong to you
Live by this wisdom, 'cause it's the truth
And you'll be fine living within life's rules

Don't hurt nobody, and don't be rude
Don't take nothin' that doesn't belong to you
Live by this wisdom, 'cause it's the truth
And you'll be fine living within life's rules
