One golden rule
There's a heart in the middle of somewhere tonightScreaming for reasons or just a way outI put the shirt off my back on a wager that saysThere's one every night from my old school yard days
One golden rule,One golden ruleI hear you say one golden ruleOne golden rule
There's been times I've been stood in the wind and the rainFreezing and busted and tricked out of luckAnd I cursed my teachers for all of their readingWhat we needed most can't be found in their books
One golden rule,One golden ruleI hear you say one golden ruleOne golden rule
Now they teach you to swim but they don't speak of the dangerTell you the truth but they never say whyPut you on ice that is thin and tell you it's winterWithout one golden rule the truth is a lie
One golden rule,One golden ruleI hear you say one golden ruleOne golden rule
