Golden Rules Lyrics by Dio

Angry Machines

1996

Hush now, children, lullaby
Steal what you can't borrow
How brave you are
And your world has come so far

Are you saved?
Have you been told
Right is the enemy
Too bad, too late

Write this down
Well, I don't believe in sanity
Or reading the instructions
Throw them all away, hey

Golden rules
Sunday school
Crazy

Wheels go round
Angry machines
Designing your destiny
Digital dreams
With no heart, no soul

Golden rules
Sunday school
You're all crazy now

Here's the situation
All the rest are getting pretty
You're melting in the city
Father says to mother
Yeah, if you really want to trash it
Go ahead and smash it

Are you saved?
Now when you go to sleep tonight
One way or another
If you don't die before you wake
Do it unto others

Golden rules
Made for fools
Sunday school
You're all crazy

Hush now, children, don't you cry
We've just killed tomorrow
How sad you are
That your world has gone too far
