Dying by the Golden Rule lyrics

The news looks bad for 

the helpless of the world, I know,

'cause there ain't a lot of help 

going down that ain't bought or sold.

People doing big business in 

deadbolts and chains, reading 

Soldier of Fortune to show them the way.

To keep the other cavemen 

from stealing their fire,

they're telling you 

you got to be a survivor.

Or be dying by the golden rule.

Heads up, it could happen to you.

Dying by the golden rule.

Now it's do unto others

before they do unto you.

We've come up short of the things 

that really count in life.

Everybody's on the take, but giving's 

where they draw the line.

Delusions of grandeur 

keep you running the race

with your .44 Magnum loaded 

just in case.

Or be dying by the golden rule.

Heads up, it could happen to you.

Dying by the golden rule.

Now it's do unto others

before they do unto you.

Caught between the gods 

trying to steal your thunder

and the devil dragging you under, oh.

Dying by the golden rule.

Heads up, it could happen to you.

Dying by the golden rule.

Now it's do unto others

before they do unto you.

Dying by the golden rule.

(Heads up) or be dyin'.

(Dying by the golden rule).

Now it's do unto others

(before they do unto you).

Dying (by the golden rule) or be dyin'.

(Heads up).

(Dying by the golden rule).

Now it's do unto others

(before they do unto you).

(Dying by the golden rule).

(Heads up).
