You say you never break the rules

Skirmish: Bending the rules (@atornberg)Liner Notes
Nice skirmish prompt
Lyrics
You say you never break the rules But you seem to be aware of the boundaries I’ve heard you say that rules are for fools They’re not forged in the foundry
It’s easier to ask for forgiveness Than to ask for permission beforehand I know you think that it’s none of my business I just wonder what it is you have planned
You say the law is flexible It does not apply to you But it’s not always stretchable To cover everything you do
You say you never break the rules I’m not sure you even know what they are The jails are full of people like you Their pleas of ignorance didn’t carry too far
You say you never break the rules You say you never break them But you’re a liar

Good lyric. You make your accusations without being specific. We can each imagine how it perfectly fits our own rule bender.
Love the melody, guitar and vocal performance of this. Sounds like you know what you’re talking about!
Great song, love the music and the lyrics. Great rhymes.
