Some people try to tell me that life is a joy
Others think I'm crazy when I say it's a toy
Only the lonely understand that it's true
Only britannia has the right to waive the rules

Any man can realize that love is not a sin
All you do is shake it up and then you let it in
Any man can realize that life is just a toy
Take a chance and waive the rules
And make your time a joy

I met a woman the other day,
She told me that it was egg on my face
It was a certain disgrace, I can't take it no more
I'm just insisting I do understand,
I'll never be a part of the band
They start to teach you at school
If I were britannia I'd waive the rules

Temptation's on your mind,
It's gonna make your body high
Although you know it was only pride, but I paid

You'll earn your ticket out of rock and roll
But some are pulling you home
I take it that you don't know,
It's just a part of the show
They couldn't make me see why,
There ain't no blue in the sky
That's like they teach you at school
If I were britannia I'd waive the rules

Temptation's on your mind,
It's gonna make your body high
Although you know it's pride
If I were britannia I'd waive the rules
