New Rules of Rhythm

[Verse]
You're pushing it on the streets tonight
You're wondering where to shine
Your life is in that baby carriage
And it's taking you for a ride

His tiny hands they hold the big apple
His head connects the wires
His likes won't feed the band tonight
And the streams are all on fire

[Chorus]
You've been napping, it’s time to wake up!
We’ve got a brand new villain
He's making you act like an easy score
Your free rides won't be forgiven
This is the radio that stole your soul
These are the new rules of rhythm
It's steaming tonight in Espanol
These are the new rules of rhythm

[Verse]
A cop and your brand new Cadillac
Stand tangled in denial
Charlie wants his shot at redemption
While the reverend stands on trial

Fighting jealousy is all he knows
And he's ready to step in the ring
If you can't afford his ticket tonight
Don’t expect him to let you sing

[Bridge]
You can’t fight your way in anymore
Your old keys won’t turn those locks
You lack the strength to break down the door
All their noise is drowning out your knocks
