Black sheep and a renegade 

Hot feet in the cool of the shade 

The street jungle and the tough childhoods 

Examinations done no good 

Got crow bars and hot wired cars 

Sneak thieves and cheap cigars 

No rebellion, not today 

I get my kicks in my own way, right OK 



Just keep on breakin' the rules

C'mon get ready to rule 

Just keep on breakin' the rules 

C'mon get ready to rule 



Tough breaks in the neighbourhood

A hard case who's up to no good 

Livin' like trash, a society rash 

Ready to break and ready to dash 

A bad deal and a real rough ride 

Ain't doin' time on the other side 

No rebellion, not today 

I get my kicks in my own way, right OK 



Just keep on breakin' the rules

C'mon get ready to rule 

Just keep on breakin' the rules 

C'mon get ready to rule 

Tough breaks 



They got the regulation ties, regulation shoes

Those regulation fools with their regulation rules

Just keep on breakin' the rules

C'mon get ready to rule 

Just keep on breakin' the rules 

C'mon get ready to rule 

Just keep on breakin' the rules, breakin' the rules 

Get ready 

You just keep on breakin' the rules 

C'mon get ready, get ready, get ready 

Ready to rule 

Take off your ties and your regulation shoes 

You're nothing but a bunch of regulation fools, yeah 

And your damn regulation rules 

I'm gonna do things my own way, everyday, everyday, everyday 

In every way, I ain't gonna pay no attention to your rules
