The hour was late
The streets were all deserted
No other cars could I see
I kept on driving though the light was red
I knew that I should have stopped
But I didn’t see a cop
So I kept going
We all break the rules sometimes
 
Chorus:
Light’s red, road’s dead, I just wanna go to bed
I’m so tired, I need to get on home
I know crime doesn’t pay
Goody two shoes go away
I’m not blind
We all break the rules sometimes
 
At work today
A girl parked in the lot
A wheelchair marked her spot
She stood tall, I saw no limp at all
So I asked her why she parked there
In a hurry what do you care
Mind your business
We all break the rules sometimes
 
Chorus:
Sign’s there, don’t care, park there, who cares
Watch your back ‘cause someone will call the cops
You’ll get towed for sure
Not even your mother says
Never mind
We all break the rules sometimes
 
Bridge:
And only the risk of fines
Can make me follow all the rules
At times I need to shed my sweet façade
Sit in the back of class and rock with laughter
You will find
We all break the rules sometimes
