Unwritten Rules

Rancid

Kick the kick drum increase the weight of the sound
The dialog of maximum decibels is enough to move the fucking ground
I'm gonna amplify the rage of a class
That's thought inferior the message in the volume
This song a carrier

Unwritten rules
Rules understood
Unwritten rules

Boomin' out the speakers and amps in the hood
I like to drink beer play music and go to shows
It's not about paying your dues if you do it out of love
I'm not a jaded junkie running dry
I don't know anything else
I'll be playing till I die

    General CommentThis song is so kick ass. I really think it's mostly about how playing music breaks down all barriers and has it's uncontainable. Thus, making it have no rules. Something along those lines.

    General CommentI understand that this song is about getting a message out through music but I don't know what unwritten rules have to do with it. Same thing with "Outta my Mind." I don't know what the rest of the lyrics have to do with that.

    Song MeaningMaybe the "unwritten rules" refers to unwritten rules of acceptance in the punk community, or the unwritten rules of how people unite with music.
