Rufus Wainwright
"Rules and Regulations"

I will never be as cute as you.
According to the board of human relations.
I will never fly as high as you.
According to the board of public citations.

These are just the rules and regulations
Of the birds and the bees,
the earth and the trees.
Not to mention the Gods.
Not to mention the Gods.

All my life I've wanted to roam.
Even if it was just inside my own home.
Then one little day I chanced to look back.
Saw you sitting there, the innoccent culprit.

These are just the rules and regulations
Of the birds and the bees,
The earth and the trees.
Not to mention the Gods.
Not to mention the Gods.

These are just the rules and regulations.
Yeah these are just the rules and regulations.
And like everyone,
Yes I, like everyone,
Must follow them.
