Lyrics:

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
