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
