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).
