Puppets Rule
Many think the “Power Elite” rule
Pull strings on this world of granite
You may think me an optimist fool
I say we puppets rule this planet

Fundamental of Liar Chapter XXXV: Rules part 2
What’s the rule, when money could buy
What’s the rule, when power is absolute
What’s the rule, when feeling involved
What’s the rule, when pride is important
What’s the rule, when look affects
What’s the rule, when victory is a must
What’s the rule, when worlds are vain
What’s the rule, people don’t change
What’s the rule, when good is not always right
What’s the rule, freedom is misunderstood
What’s the rule, anger conquers
What’s the rule, past neglected
What’s the rule, crime that committed

Born To Rule
Lay down your arms this night
Surrender to the power
Embracing your metal heart
On your final walk through the snow
A hammer made of steel
From the river of blood
With magic, forged in flames
Delusions, a curse of the damned
What do you see?
Imaginary visions or reality
When you're free
Then you'll see that you are bound to rule
Rule - Born - Rule
We were Born to Rule
Rule - Born - Rule
We were Born to Rule
Born to Rule - Born to Rule
We're Born to Rule forever more
Born to Rule - Born to Rule
We're Born to Rule forever
The revolution forced us all to heed the final call
And if tomorrow never comes
Then we will strike the hammer down
Rule - Born - Rule
We were Born to Rule
Rule - Born - Rule
We were Born to Rule
Born to Rule - Born to Rule
We're Born to Rule forever more
Born to Rule - Born to Rule
We're Born to Rule forever
Forever, forever Rule!

Surfers Rule
Its a genuine fact that the surfers rule
Its plastered on the walls all around the school now
(surfers rule, surfers rule)
Becoming just as common as a golden rule now
(surfers rule, surfers rule)
Take it or leave it but you better believe it
Surfers rule
They burnt it in the grass on the football field now
(surfers rule, surfers rule)
Just try to make them cool it and theyll never yield now
(surfers rule, surfers rule)
Take what youve heard now and go pass the word now
Surfers rule
Its a genuine fact that the surfers rule
A woody full of surfers pullin long side a wagon
(surfers rule, surfers rule)
The hodaddies sittin while the surfers are draggin
The surfers are winnin and they say as theyre grinnin
Surfers rule
Surfers rule
(four seasons you better believe it)
Surfers rule

Let Love Rule
Love is gentle as a rose
And love can conquer any war
It's time to take a stand
Brothers and sisters join hands
We got to let love rule
Let love rule
We got to let love rule
Let love rule
Love transcends all space and time
And love can make a little child smile
Oh can't you see
This won't go wrong
But we got to be strong
We can't do it alone
We got to let love rule
Let love rule
We got to let love rule
Let love rule
Let love rule
You got to got to got to
Let love rule
You got to got to got to

An Earnest Prayer to God
God, rule my tongue, my works, my thought;
God, rule my mind, body, and heart;
God, rule all gifts from You I got;
God, rule my will, forget-me-not.
God, rule all things, my every part;
God, rule my actions from the start;
God, rule my soul, guide it with art;
God, rule my life till I depart!

Other Me
I Know I Was A Crazy Fool
For Treating You The Way I Did
But Something Took Hold Of Me
And I Acted Like A Dustbin Lid
I Didn't Give Second Though
To What The Consequence Might Be
I Really Wouldn't Be Surprised
If You Were Trying To Find Another Me
The Other Me Would Rather Be The Glad One
The Other Me Would Rather Play The Fool
I Want To Be The Kind Of Me
That Doesn't Let You Down As A Rule
I Know It Doesn't Take A Lot
To Have A Little Self-Control
But Every Time That I Forgot
Well I Landed In Another Hole
But Everytime You Pull Me Out
I Find It Harder Not To See
That We Can Build A Better Life
If I Can Try To Find The Other Me
The Other Me Would Rather Be The Glad One
The Other Me Would Rather Play The Fool
I Want To Be The Kind Of Me
That Doesn't Let You Down As A Rule
But If I Ever Hurt You
Well You Know That It's Not Real
It's No Easy Living By Yourself
So Imagine How I Feel
I Wish That I Could Take It Back
I'd Like To Make A Different Mood
And If You Let Me Try Again
I'll Have A Better Attitude
Well I Know That One And One Make Two
And That's What I Want Us To Be
I Really Would Appreciate It
If You'd Help Me Find The Other Me
The Other Me Would Rather Be The Glad One
The Other Me Would Rather Play The Fool
I Want To Be The Kind Of Me
That Doesn't Let You Down As A Rule

But something took hold of me
And I acted like a dustbin lid

And if you let me try again
Ill have a better attitude
Well I know that one and one make two
And thats what I want us to be

Big Money
Big money goes around the world
Big money underground
Big money got a mighty voice
Big money make no sound
Big money pull a million strings
Big money hold the prize
Big money weave a mighty web
Big money draw the flies
Sometimes pushing people around
Sometimes pulling out the rug
Sometimes pushing all the buttons
Sometimes pulling out the plug
It's the power and the glory
It's a war in paradise
It's a cinderella story
On a tumble of the dice
Big money goes around the world
Big money take a cruise
Big money leave a mighty wake
Big money leave a bruise
Big money make a million dreams
Big money spin big deals
Big money make a mighty head
Big money spin big wheels
Sometimes building ivory towers
Sometimes knocking castles down
Sometimes building you a stairway --
Lock you underground
It's that old-time religion
it's the kingdom they would rule
It's the fool on television
Getting paid to play the fool
Big money goes around the world
Big money give and take
Big money done a power of good
Big money make mistakes
Big money got a heavy hand
Big money take control
Big money got a mean streak
Big money got no soul

Haiku Rule is No Rule
all the haiku rules
are no rule except
the three liner
i would concur
besides that
you can turn things
upside down
create another realm
with your words
so long as they jolt
the heart to things as banal
as a frog jumping
into an old pond
strike the mind
to give it another
good reason
for its existence
how could there be rules
when the world paints itself
in a thousand languages
throws as many idiosyncracies
as would civilisations draw up rules
for each of its endeavours
remember picasso, van gogh,
how they rule the canvas
and our 'rule abiding' selves
with their no-rule colours and strokes
how could there be a rule
when water like my core
could run in all directions
when this mind could jump
from moon to sun
and a far flung planet
in one second
when these eyes ould
see stars, planets, and suns
in this physique alone:
sun, planets, stars
these moles
all over my body

Women Rule The World
I GUESS JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING I'VE EVER DONE
I'VE BEEN TRYIN' TO IMPREE OR GET CLOSE TO ONE OF EM'
SEEMS LIKE I WAS ABOUT THIRTEEN
BOBBIE JO GUTHRIE WAS THE PUMPKIN QUEEN
THAT NIGHT I RELIZED FOR THE VERY FIRST
WOMEN RULE THE WORLD
THE WAY THEY TALK, THE WAY THEY GIGGLE
THE WAY THEY WALK, THE WAY THEY JIGGLE
MAKES MEN BUY 'EM DIAMONDS AND PEARLS
SOFT TOUCH, OH THAT LOVIN
THAT LOOK WHEN THEY'RE MAMAS
CUTE WHEN THEY'RE GIRLS
WOMEN RULE THE WORLD
WE MEN LIKE TO THINK WE'RE N CONTROL
WE ALL WANT TO BE BIG SHOTS
WE LIKE TO THINK WE RUN THE SHOW
THE TRUTH IS WITH JUST THE RIGHT SMILE
YOU LADIES KNOW YOU CAN DRIVE US WILD
THOSE MINI-SKIRTS AND THE WAY YOU FLIRT
YOU KNOW JUST WHAT WORKS
WOMEN RULE THE WORLD
THE WAY THEY TALK, THE WAY THEY GIGGLE
THE WAY THEY WALK, THE WAY THEY JIGGLE
MAKES MEN BUY 'EM DIAMONDS AND PEARLS
THAT LOOK WHEN THEY'RE UP TO SOMETHING
SOFT TOUCH, OH THAT LOVIN
THEY'RE SEXY WHEN THEY'RE GIRLS MAMAS
CUTE WHEN THEY'RE GIRLS
WOMEN RULE THE WORLD
IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES
THEY MAKE MY TEMPERATURE RISE
STYLE AND BRAINS, THE WHOLE SHEBANG
I'M HERE TO SAY, WOMEN RULE THE WORLD
THAT LOOK WHEN THEY'RE UP TO SOMETHING

THEY'RE SEXY WHEN THEY'RE MAMAS
CUTE WHEN THEY'RE GIRLS

The Balance of Power
Power an important tool
For a leader to rule
So the constituent subscribe
Whatever laws as guide.
But power may be abused
To shield the personal grandeur
By lack of concern or care
-For the benefit of others.
May the power hold
To the wise and kind
But firm to implement
The rule of justice...
And equality to all.

One Hundred Punks
They customised their gear and synchronised
(They)flame out in the streets with flame in their eyes
Guerilla operator ain't heard of cool
Check out any wall - one hundred punks rule
One hundred punks rule
A hundred punks run with London town
Down Wardour Street to the Soho Sound
Don't sleep all week only when they fall down
A hundred Rumble boys and Tumble girls
Protected by steel in a private world
Tomorrow's famous faces advertise today
And the studs on their back say
One hundred punks rule
A hundred punks run the loaded gun
They look so sharp they look like one
If you ain't got the look you'll never be one
A hundred punks run with total suss
A hundred good mates you know you can trust
There's never no bother and there's no fuss
Check out any wall - one hundred punks rule
One hundred punks rule
And Jimmy's no.101 knows one day he'll be One
Watch him - watch him Go!
A hundred punks run the leather army
I know whose by my side not at home with TV
Even when I'm down I hear them sing for me
Check out any wall - One hundred punks rule
One hundred punks rule
Check out any wall - One hundred punks rule
One hundred punks rule
Check out - One hundred punks rule O.K.

I Rule
I rule.
Therefore,
What I choose to do...
Is imposed.
I fool.
Only myself.
But that which is ruled...
Becomes addicted to my tricks.
And...
Is glued.
Trapped.
Within a web that cocoons and sticks.
I rule.

Why Did I Always Depend On You?
T. mcrea / r. smith / p. greenwood
Why did I always depend on you
When I knew that youd end
In anothers arms?
As a rule Im no fool
But it seems where loves concerned
Theres no rule for a fool
Who would let his heart be burned
And you intended to fool me too
Thats no lie
And you cant deny its true
From the start in my heart
I knew what youd do
Why did I depend on you?
