Story Behind The Song
I get fed up having to do things and being told what to do. At the end of the day, there are some things we have to do which is for everyone's good. So long as there is a reason for rules, I guess!
Song Description
I suppose any community will have to have sets of rules. They are there for a reason - to help us get along. IF they do not serve that purpose, they should not be there.

Lyrics
Why do we need to do as we?re told?
Whether we?re young, or whether we?re old
Whether we?re weak or if we?re strong
Why are there rules about right and wrong?
?Cause it helps us live together
Helps us work it out
Helps us find a way to live
And that?s what we?re about.
It makes us think about it
Helps us find a way
It helps us all when things go wrong
To find the right words to say.
Why do we need to do as we?re told?
Whether we?re shy, or whether we?re bold
Whether we?re angry, or if we?re cool
We gotta make sure, we?re no-one?s fool
Why do we need to do as we?re told?
Whether we?re hot, or whether we?re cold
Whether we laugh, or if we cry,
There?s nothing wrong in wondering why.
