who makes the rules

Steven Curtis Chapman

Well, Iââ?¬â?¢ve been watching us very close,
And I guess the one thing thatââ?¬â?¢s been bothering me the most,
Is when I see us playing by the same rules that the world is using.

Well, Iââ?¬â?¢ve been listening to the things that we say,
And I, I hear us mention words like fortune and fame,
And it makes me wonder if weââ?¬â?¢re sure about the side weââ?¬â?¢re choosing.
Thatââ?¬â?¢s why Iââ?¬â?¢m asking you

CHORUS
Who makes the rules for me and you,
When itââ?¬â?¢s wrong or right is it black and white?
Who makes the rules for me and you;
Itââ?¬â?¢s our life at stake so we better know who makes the rules.

When I see people just like you and me,
Trying to live out the pictures they see on TV;
Gotta have a new car, new clothes, new love when they get tired of trying.

Well, Iââ?¬â?¢ve been reading ââ?¬Ë?bout a different way,
Talking ââ?¬Ë?bout dying to live and losing to gain;
Seems like somebodyââ?¬â?¢s telling us the truth and somebodyââ?¬â?¢s lying.
I wanna know who.

(chorus)

Two voices are calling out to you;
Youââ?¬â?¢re serving the one youââ?¬â?¢re listening to,
So, tell me who, somebody tell me who.
