Excerpt from lyrics:
Rules
by Sonny Meadows
*

Rules so many damn rules
Volumes of law written by scoundrels and fools
I ain’t seen a good one on the books yet
And I break all the bad ones every chance I get.
*
Policies, procedures, dictums, precepts, canons
Commandments and etiquette, regulations, ordinances, and decrees…

This week, we are trying something new. We are focusing on one, particular artist, who has written a whole catalogue of peace and justice songs…
