	Story Behind the Song This is another old rock song redone with my own lyrics. I started playing this on a dulcimer I built a few years ago, but couldn't remember what it was until about a year ago when I heard it on the radio. So now I play in on my electric dulcimer and other instruments Lyrics Although they’re making up all the rules They’re breaking them all around “Do as we say not as we do” Their hypocrisy abounds Its never alright It can’t be alright It feels so wrong in my heart If we could only Make them less phony We’d make ourselves a new start “You’ve got to be more generous Just give more while we’re on the take You’ve got to be more genuine While we’ll just be more fake” “You’ve got to be more peaceful As you see we’re still preparing for war You’ve got to learn to live with less While we’ll find ways to hoard more” Oppressor days are here again They’ve lost respect for all things Decency has eluded them They’re the worst of all the bad kings {Yeah, we could make a new start make a few simple guidelines that everybody would want to follow. Imagine a world where every human is encouraged and supported to discover and pursue their unique gifts and passions as their life’s work.} It’s the end of oppression as we know it…
