Golden Rule

Don't need your sympathy, you lack the empathy
To mean it anyway  
You treat others, even brothers  
Like they were just there to throw away  
  
The girl is grieving, now you're leaving  
You don't want to get involved  
Some day it could be you, feeling blue  
Maybe your feelings would evolve  
   
Chorus:  
Treating others how you would want them to treat you  
Not judge them or grudge them  
Trying to be cool  
You don't have to like someone, you don't have to care  
Just try to be civil, just try to be fair  
Wouldn't it be better if we all followed the golden rule  
Instead of the danger of turning a stranger
Into an enemy like a fool  
   
You go to college, gain the knowledge  
Then throw it all away  
Serving time from doing the crime  
Turning your color world to grey  
   
You see your child, growing wild  
Trying to be just like you  
With a constitution for an institution  
Doing things like you would do  
   
Chorus
