## Lyrics
[verse]
Walked into the store to buy a loaf of bread
Sign said "No shirt, no service" over my head
Walked around the fence to find a place to sit
Sign said "Private land, don't you cross it"

[chorus]
Rules and boards on every corner
Telling me what I can't do
Warnings posted, never a welcome
Won't somebody let me through

[verse]
Went down to the office looking for a job
Sign said "Must have papers" and my heart went throb
Everywhere I turn there's another rule
Feels like the whole town's built to keep me a fool

[chorus]
Rules and boards on every corner
Telling me what I can't do
Warnings posted, never a welcome
Won't somebody let me through

[bridge]
Hey mister, can't you see
There's a person here, and it's me
Behind the rules and behind the board
I just want a way that's not ignored

[chorus]
Rules and boards on every corner
Telling me what I can't do
Warnings posted, never a welcome
Won't somebody let me through
