The Rules Have Changed – Ed Rashed – letras

Nobody says excuse me, says hello or holds the doorThe way some people act you’d think we had a state of warA whole new generation now has known no other wayThe Rules Have Changed Now, Haven’t They! It’s not like yesterdayThat great big supermarket’s not your friendly corner storeNobody ever meets your eye or smiles much anymoreWith everybody’s hurry more important than your ownThe Rules Have Changed Now, Haven’t They! Civility’s unknownRules Have Changed, Rules Have Changed, Rules Have Changed, Changed!In traffic they will cut you off, barge in from left and rightThey cut you in the breakdown lane to turn left at the lightThey cut a half a minute here, a half a second thereThe Rules Have Changed Now, Haven’t They! It’s like that everywhereThe rudeness is so blatant that it’s hard to not fight backI used to try to stand my ground or go on the attackBut now I’m happy to survive; I’m just a bit perplexedThe Rules Have Changed Now, Haven’t They! And where’s it going next?Rules Have Changed, Rules Have Changed, Rules Have Changed, Changed!The stories I have heard would make you shudder, then againYou’ve probably heard most of them and wonder where I’ve beenI’m learning that the old way is just something of the past.The Rules Have Changed – hey, move it pal!
