Everything I do
breaks all your rules
You come running after
and I'm left the fool
I didn't know she was your sister
I didn't know red meant stop
I hadn't been informed
it wasn't considered polite
'round these parts to piss on a cop
You say I am uncouth
that I'm not to be trusted
Everything I touch
for my fingerprints is dusted
Why didn't you glue it down
if you liked it so much?
How was I supposed to know
that he needed that crutch?
Everything I do
breaks all your rules
Well, you try to tie me down
and I'll kick like a mule
Don't speak so loud?
Let me get my trumpet . . .
Stick out your leg to slow me down
I'll jus' grab it and hump it
'cause everything I do
breaks all your rules
no matter how many grades
no matter how many schools
It's not that I'm mean
or trying to be rude
like some stupid fuckin' kid
with an uptown attitude
It's just that I don't fit
in your high-dollar suit
And my butt weren't built
for the brunt of you boot
So you can take your
"yes'm thank you's"
and yer print that is so fine
and shove 'em with a twist
where the sun cares not to shine
'cause if everything I do
breaks all your rules
then I don't need 'em
that's it - we're done with parlez-vous
I'm movin' on I'm g'wan
No need to take this guff
'sides I hear town up river
has a bank that's fit to bust
