[Verse 1]
I took out my pen and pad
And set to write my manifesto
It was a one line poem, said
"Don't let nothing ever get you low"
There's a hole open to heaven
And I looked straight through
We were love-drunk
Giving like we was living on the bayou

[Chorus]
Who made these fucking rules
And said that I was born to live by?
Give 'em hell 'til I die
Don't bury me in no suit and tie
'Cause I don't wanna work
For another man's money
Yes, sir, no, sir
Give it to me, honey

[Verse 2]
I had a revelation
I was told a lie
Live to consume
Work to buy and then die
Oh, but truth enters the mind
One little word at a time
And you can't shake the smell
Of the cat on the line
[Chorus]
Who made these fucking rules
And said that I was born to live by?
Give 'em hell 'til I die
Don't bury me in no suit and tie
'Cause I don't wanna work
For another man's money
Yes, sir, no, sir
Give it to me, honey

[Bridge]
Who made these fucking rules
And said that I was born to live by?
Who made these fucking rules
And said that I was born to live by?
Who made these fucking rules
And said that I was born to live by?
Who made these fucking rules
And said that I was born to live by?

[Outro]
Tell me I'm alive
Show me I am human
I wanna log off, shut down
And leave the room
