Claypool starts the Frizzle Fry album by calling out society for its rigidity around tradition. Even if hypocritical, mentioned in the song as a bride wearing virgin white despite not representing it, society still pressures tradition.

To Defy the Laws of Tradition Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
What if Christmas didn't come this year
And no one paid for Christmas cheer?
Who would cry the biggest tear
The child or the store?

[Verse 2]
Why do brides wear virgin white?
Most do not deserve that right
But to choose a color of their delight
Would surely bring on the frowns

[Chorus]
To defy the laws of tradition
Is a crusade only of the brave
To defy the laws of tradition
Is a crusade only of the brave, yeah

[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Suppose the taxman, he comes to town
And you don't lay your money down
Yet Mr. Jones he killed Mr. Brown the other day
Well I wonder, who's gonna go to hell

[Verse 4]
Oh, I'm just a bill
And I'm only a bill
And I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill
And I hope to be a law someday

[Chorus]
To defy the laws of tradition
Is a crusade only of the brave
To defy the laws of tradition
Is a crusade only of the brave
To defy the laws of tradition
Is a crusade only of the brave
To defy the laws of tradition
Is a crusade only of the brave
