Who made up these rules

And who's a genius and who's a fool?
Am Em D
OH, who made up these rules?

Am D
Who wrote all of these laws?
Am D
When to spit and when to applaud?
Am D E
What's up the Devil and what's up God?
[Refrão]

Cause I'm so tired of walking this wire
Am E
I'm either ice or I'm fire
Am D Am D
I'm so tired of walking this wire
Am E
I'm either ice or I'm fire
