Golden Rule

Heard it all my life, every saying and line
From "pigs get fat, but hogs get slaughtered" in time
"Possession's nine-tenths," they said with a grin
But I found the truth lies deep within
Through the maze of words and the clichés spun
I chased the shadows, and sought out the one
But one rule stood out, shining bold and true
The one with the most gold makes the rules
Golden Rule, it's the law of the land
In a world where the strong take their stand
With a heart full of dreams and a pocket full of dues
The one with the most gold makes the rules
"Early bird gets the worm," they preached
But "slow and steady wins the race" they also teached
Through the paradox and the riddles so grand
I learned to play the game with cards in hand
Through the maze of words and the clichés spun
I chased the shadows, and sought out the one
But one rule stood out, shining bold and true
The one with the most gold makes the rules
Golden Rule, it's the law of the land
In a world where the strong take their stand
With a heart full of dreams and a pocket full of dues
The one with the most gold makes the rules
When the chips are down and the stakes are high
You gotta dig deep and reach for the sky
The sayings they told me, all faded away
But the Golden Rule, it's here to stay
Golden Rule, it's the law of the land
In a world where the strong take their stand
With a heart full of dreams and a pocket full of dues
The one with the most gold makes the rules
So I'll keep climbing, I'll keep holding tight
With the Golden Rule, I'll conquer the night
In this game of life, where fortunes entwine
The one with the most gold, the power's mine
