Black Crown - Bloc Party

Because it’s the rules

Teacher said to boy

Not my rules he says, no

Talking in Ebonics

Talking in italics

Talking, talking, talking, talking, talking, talking

Just remember

That you wear a crown

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

That you wear a crown

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Because it’s the rules

Policeman said to boy

Not my rules he said, no

Who will love the prophet?

Who will love the madman?

Who will, who will, who will love the genius child?

Just remember

That you wear a crown

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

That you wear a crown

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Angela Davis

Charlie Parker

Cassius Clay

Not my rules they said

No, no, no

Not my rules they said

No
