I would rather walk than run
So many friends I hide
And the garden grows another rose
Young mother strokes her breast
Each new life draws new breath
And our hero knows it's all in his soul
It's a cruel price that we pay
That our lives are day to day
They wanna know what caused it all
No way to mend that broken home
I want to rule my life today
Sing these songs so full of soul
With rubber man
I want to rule my life today
When we're down we bounce right back
With the rubber man
No one knows where he's coming from
Is it somewhere from deep inside
Everybody grows another rose
All the guns are drawn in haste
Can't we be friends today
And live the dream that comes from the soul
It's a cruel price that we pay
That our lives are day to day
They wanna know what caused it all
No way to mend that broken home
I want to rule my life today
Sing these songs so full of soul
With rubber man
I want to rule my life today
When we're down we bounce right back
With the rubber man
Oh mothers so proud before
Its not a perfect hope
Not to be so harsh
We can share with the world
Shock them all with love
I want to rule my life today
Sing these songs so full of soul
With rubber man
I want to rule my life today
When we're down we bounce right back
With the rubber man
