[00:01.89] Catch Me If You Can: the Musical
[00:02.65] Song: Don't Break the Rules
[00:03.04]
[00:03.56] Hanratty were you always like this?
[00:05.42] I think I was born this way.
[00:06.78] Other kids wanted to play cops and robbers, I only wanted to play cops.
[00:10.28]
[00:12.19] It starts very early once the baby toys are gone
[00:16.63] a kid on the playground has to chose What side he's on
[00:21.02] it's the bullies or the good guys
[00:23.28] Boy there aint no middle ground
[00:25.77] Though hoodlums try to blur the line and twist the truth around
[00:30.20] Then they call themselves a winner but they're self deceiving fools
[00:34.88] Cause the game aint worth winning if you're breaking all the rules
[00:38.51]
[00:39.67] The law is laid upon us when as kids we first ask why
[00:44.05] Our parents set the rules when cause I said so they reply
[00:48.31] And though I thought I hated them and screamed with all my might
[00:53.23] The next time that I had a choice gee whiz I did what’s right
[00:57.70] Though I never snuck a drink I never stole a pack of cools
[01:02.24] Cause the game aint worth winning if you\'re breaking all the rules
[01:06.44]
[01:06.79] Don't break the rules
[01:07.66] Or else we're livin in the wild wild west
[01:10.81] Don't break the rules
[01:11.93] Gods keeping score you don't want to fail that test
[01:15.41] Don't break the rules
[01:16.28] You thumb your nose right at the light for which I strive
[01:20.48] But those rules those laws keep us alive
[01:24.07]
[01:25.13] Well it started back with Moses when he led around the Jews
[01:29.70] And climed way up that mountain to pick up Gods daily news
[01:34.39] He schlepped up Mt. Sinai I cried And begged on their behalf
[01:38.90] He almost dropped those tablets when he saw that golden calf
[01:43.07] Now we teach the ten commandments
[01:45.59] Every Sunday in our schools
[01:47.72] Cause the game aint worth winning if your breaking all the rules
[01:51.46]
[01:52.83] I guess the constitution boys to sum is too complex
[01:57.10] They think our founding fathers fought so they can forge some checks
[02:01.68] They see themselves as robin hood stealing from the rich
[02:06.33] Paying back the things they take well payback is a bitch
[02:10.58] Cause the world aint Sherwood Forest
[02:12.81] You can’t give away those jewels
[02:15.61] And the game aint worth winning if your breaking all the rules
[02:19.73]
[02:20.09] Don’t break the rules don't break the rules
[02:23.63] Or else we're livin in the wild wild west
[02:23.93] Don't break the rules
[02:25.46] Gods keeping score you don't want to fail that test
[02:28.59] Don't break the rules
[02:29.45] You thumb your nose right at the light for which I strive
[02:33.58] But those rules those laws keep us alive
[02:36.82]
[02:38.18] When you steal somebody’s money
[02:40.52] Screw his daughter or his wife
[02:43.12] You don't think of repercussions
[02:45.19] As you tap dance through your life
[02:47.62] Though you smile like you’re a hero
[02:49.58] Your an outlet through and through
[02:51.83] But the odds are in my favor man
[02:54.51] And one day I'll catch you
[02:56.49] So don't sneak into a movie
[02:58.68] Or the red light to sell some pot
[03:01.31] It's all the same to me
[03:02.98] You're either guilty or you’re not
[03:05.58] You're the only one we wanted
[03:07.77] If every time we failed the earth
[03:09.89] The world would be total chaos
[03:12.40] It's already on the verge
[03:14.84] Yes its laws that keep us human
[03:17.04] Cause without them winners lose
[03:19.37] And the game aint worth winning
[03:21.54] The game aint worth winning
[03:23.77] The game aint worth winning
[03:26.14] If we're breaking all the rules
[03:27.92]
[03:28.42] Don't break the rules
[03:29.29] or else we're livin in the wild wild west
[03:32.58] Don't break the rules
[03:33.65] Gods keeping score you don't want to fail that test
[03:37.20] Don't break the rules
[03:38.43] you thumb your nose right at the light for which
[03:41.52] I strive but those rules
[03:44.50] those laws
[03:46.62] those rules
[03:47.98] those laws
[03:48.60] those rules
[03:49.31] those laws
[03:50.06] keep us alive
