Lyrics:

There's a heart in the middle of somewhere tonight Screaming for reasons or just a way out I put the shirt off my back on a wager that says There's one every night from my old school yard days I hear you say one golden rule One golden rule There's been times I've been stood in the wind and the rain Freezing and busted and tricked out of luck And I cursed my teachers for all of their reading What we needed most can't be found in them books One golden rule Now they teach you to swim but they don't speak of the danger Tell you the truth but they never say why Put you on ice that is thin and tell you it's winter Without one golden rule the truth is a lie One golden rule
