Allan Dias/Duane Edmonds/John Lydon/John McGeoch/Bruce Smith)



You'll wonder should you risk it

A pocket full of mischief

An idiotic rain dance

Relying on a romance



Another frame beginning

Now's the time for singing a-ha!

Prayer has conceded

Successfully succeeded



Rules and regulations-rules and regulations



Howling at the moonshine

Barking up the wrong tree

A sacrificial slaughter

Took you from the altar



CHORUS

Rules and regulations-rules and regulations

Have no fear of laughter-wait for what comes after



Excusing no excuses

The hangman and his nooses

Busy executing

The bloody and blaspheming



Rules and regulations-rules and regulations



The Spanish Inquisition

No one above suspicion

Crying out for reason

Might as well be treason



CHORUS
