Making All The Rules

He's looking at a picture of a gun Ricochets 'round the room Say he's gonna get one when it's older He's growing up too soon Looks into his father's eyes And kicks away the stool Hey now, don't be mad at him He ain't making all the rules Hey now, don't be mad at him He ain't making all the rules Janie tells the perfect lie She's been staying with a friend All the tests she took were positive Where does it leave her in the end? She looks into her mother's eyes Sees reflections of a fool Hey now, don't be mad at her She ain't making all the rules Hey now, don't be mad at her She ain't making all the rules Joey made the last deal he's gonna make Gonna set them up for good Repeats himself a thousand times over Addictions thicker than the blood Janie leaves a message for the caller Says she won't be home tonight Takes another trip down to the corner Gonna lose this endless fight They look into eachothers eyes Say "when we finished paying our dues?" Hey now, don't be mad at them They ain't making all the rules Hey now, don't be mad at them They ain't making all the rules
