Lyrics
SOMEONE WARNED ME , MISINFORMED ME, DIDN'T THINK IT THROUGH.
CLOUDY FEELING, RAINY SCHEMING , TILL THE SUN BROKE THROUGH,
NOW HERE ARE SIMPLE RULES THAT YOU CAN USE,
WHENEVER YOU FEEL THREATENED OR ABUSED
LEAD YOUR OWN LIFE
GO YOUR OWN WAY
DONT BE SWAYED BY THINGS THAT OTHERS DO
DO YOUR OWN THING
MAKE YOUR OWN RULES
DONT BE INFLUENCED BY THINGS THAT PEOPLE SAY
TIME IS PRECIOUS , DONT YOU WASTE IT
DONT BE OVERRULED
PRAISE THE WEATHER
STICK TOGETHER
LET YOUR COURSE BE TRUE
NOW HERE ARE SIMPLE RULES THAT YOU CAN USE
WHENEVER YOU FEEL LONELY OR ABUSED
REPEAT CHORUS
AND IF EVER YOUR IN TROUBLE OR ALONE
IF EVER YOURE IN NEED OF MEDITATION
TOMORROW OR TODAY
TO GUIDE YOU ON YOUR WAY
LEAD YOUR OWN LIFE
GO YOUR OWN WAY
DO YOUR OWN THING
MAKE YOUR OWN RULES
