Lyrics:
If pain was a color to paint on you
Your heart would be the color blue
Be a painting, hung up there ’til your body met your head
Which were made of silver
You are the one they call Jesus Christ
Who didn’t know no rock and roll
Just a mission made of guns that they give boys in Vietnam
But they always told him
There’s a madness in us all
There’s a madness in us all
So
Who broke the rules?
Who broke the rules?
Who broke the rules?
They said
Every one of you will never try to lend a hand
When the policemen don’t understand
Oh, you boys, all you boys
Think you’re so American
Girls, all you girls
They’re so American
He may not be born of this land
But he was born of this world
He was born of all the mothers
And the colors of our brothers
And the love that we sent him
You are the one they call Jesus Christ
You may not know no rock and roll
There may not be a heaven or a place in which to send you
But you know in the end
There’s a madness in us all
There’s a madness in us all
There’s a madness in us all
There’s a madness in us all
So
Who broke the rules?
Who broke the rules?
Who broke the rules?
They say
Every one of you will never try to lend a hand
When the policemen don’t understand
Boys, all you boys
Think you’re so American
Girls, all you girls
Yeah, you’re so American
There’s two eyes for every one of us
But somebody got there first and took them all
There’s two eyes for every one of us
But somebody got there first and took them all
Man, oh, man
Think you’re so American
Man, oh, man
Yeah, you’re so American
Man, oh, man
You think you’re so American
Man, oh, man
Yeah, you’re so American
There’s two eyes for every one of us
But somebody got there first and took them all
There’s two eyes for every one of us
But somebody got there first and took them all

Portugal. The Man took 2017 by the horns after a considerably long gap, between records. They spent years working on an album called Gloomin Doomin before later developing what would become known as their latest studio album WOODSTOCK. Fate struck lead singer, John Gourley, twice. First, John got some parental tough love from his old man. “What’s taking so long to finish the album?,” John’s dad asked. “Isn’t that what bands do? Write songs and then put them out?” The whole thing got John thinking about why the band seemed to be stuck on a musical elliptical machine from hell and more importantly, about how to get off of it. Second, John found his dad’s ticket stub from the original 1969 Woodstock music festival, which ultimately knocked something loose in his head. He realized that, in the same tradition of bands from that era, Portugal. The Man needed to speak out about the world crumbling around them.
With these two ideas converging, the band made a seemingly bat-shit-crazy decision: they took all of the work they had done for the three years prior and threw it out. The band went back to the studio – working with John Hill, Danger Mouse and longtime collaborator Casey Bates. In this new-found creative territory, the album that became WOODSTOCK rolled out naturally from there. Fast forward to present day and it was impossible to escape the album’s first single “Feel It Still,” which dominated the charts and radio airwaves in 2017. The 6X Platinum Certified hit reigned at #1 at nearly all radio formats, including Top 40, as well as Alternative, where the song held the chart’s top spot for a mind-blowing 20 weeks, breaking the record for most weeks at #1. Yes, you read that right. 5 guys from Wasilla, Alaska who have played nearly 1,500 shows in their career broke Alternative radio records and had a #1 song at Pop radio. Billboard Magazine even went as far as to call the song, “the unexpected rock crossover hit of 2017,” while Rolling Stone listed it as “one of the best songs of 2017.” AND THEN…the band kicked off 2018 by winning a GRAMMY Award for “Feel It Still.” WOODSTOCK has since been certified gold, as has their second single “Live In The Moment”.
