The Rules Lyrics - Tragically Hip

Legs scream at bikes and bikes scream at trucks 

And motorists curse their lousy luck 

Crossing guard's not doing his job 

And traffic's not about to stop for the first casualty of thought 

It's the rules 

It's the rules 

Superfarmer's bent on the cover of time 

The moralists scream he's all mine 

So the bard isn't doing her job 

The vacuum night, the darkest rites, the small quarantined thoughts 

It's the rules 

It's the rules 

Salesman said this vacuum's guaranteed 

It could suck an ancient virus from the sea 

It could put the dog out of a job 

Could make traffic stop so little thoughts can safely get across
